THE PROJECT
The opening of the Channel Tunnel will create a
continuous rail link between Britain and
mainland Europe. In 1985, as part of
this continental transport system,
Waterloo was chosen by
British Rail to be the first
terminal for the new
Eurostar high-speed trains.
These will run to and from
Paris and Brussels and will
be operated by European Passenger Services (EPS) in
conjunction with the national railways of France and
Belgium.
Completed in May 1993, Waterloo International
Terminal is a magnificent cathedral-like structure
which evokes the great age of Victorian engineering.

easy reach of Central London designed firmly with the future in mind. Described
as the ‘Gateway to Europe’, the terminal heralds a
new era of rail transport and has been compared to
an airport.
The analogy is appropriate. For the anticipated
15 million people who will use Waterloo Inter-
national each year, the terminal not only offers the
same high standards of comfort and service found in
major airports, but also access to a European
inter-city rail network that will compete directly
with the airlines forjourney time.

Concrete proved to be the ideal building material
for the fast-track construction programme,
accommodating design changes while maintaining

a late conversion from steel to reinforced concrete on
the track support structure, bringing savings both in
cost and programme time. In total, nearly 100000
tonnes of concrete were used in the project.
By any standards the design and construction of

Waterloo International was a challenge - not least


because the terminal had to be built alongside an
existing station serving 200000 commuters every
day. The result is a complex feat of ‘urban engineer-
ing’ and a tribute to the skill and imagination of all
who contributed to the project.

SPECIFICATION
Location
Waterloo was chosen as the site for Britain’s first
international terminal after careful research into
travel patterns. Studies showed that a Central
London location was ideal for continental
destinations, providing a suitable departure point
from the UK in general and the densely populated
South East in particular. Although stations such as
Paddington, London Bridge and Victoria were
considered, the development of Waterloo promised
minimal disruption to existing services. Other
advantages included:
• ample space to build 400 m4ong platforms and
trackbeds CHORLEY & HANFORD

• good access and sufficient capacity on approach


roads
• London Underground interchange facilities
The new terminal snakes alongside the existing station, its funnel shape dictated by the narrow site
• reasonable proximity and access to a suitable site
for a major new servicing and maintenance depot
• space for back-up facilities.
Although independent from the domestic station,
the new terminal sits within the same site
boundaries. It is bordered by Network SouthEast
platforms and tracks to the east, 1960s office
accommodation to the west and the existing
concourse and station general offices to the north.

trains - and tapers from a width of 48 m in the north comfort for Eurostar
passengers
to 32 m in the south. This funnel shape, clearly
apparent when the building is viewed from above,
was dictated by the width of the site and is carried
through the station’s four levels.
On level one is a basement that provides short-
term car parking; levels two and three house arrivals
and departures respectively; and level four; the upper
floor, is devoted to the platforms. The terminal has
the following principal features:
• basement car-parking
• five new platforms with arrival and departure
halls beneath
• M&E services, back-up services and accommo-
dation housed in refurbished vaults
• a glass and stainless steel roof enclosing the
platforms
• a high-level pedestrian link to Waterloo East
Station.
Arrival and departure areas are located beneath the platforms

during the second world war but have been
extensively refurbished using mesh-reinforced
sprayed concrete linings.
The station’s five platforms and tracks pass
200 m beyond the terminal building and rest on a
new viaduct. In what is thought to be a first,
lightweight concrete was used for the trackbed itself
which provides thermal insulation to the passenger
areas below.

The heating, ventilation and air-conditioning


systems have been designed to bring air into the
building and to regulate it according to the season
and volume of passengers. Cooling is provided by
three 600 kW air-cooled chillers, and heating by
four 1465 kW gas-fired boilers located in the
existing arches beneath Waterloo Station.
The comprehensive communication system
provides passengers with information on train
departures/arrivals, and EPS staff with details on the
overall operation and performance of the terminal.

the main structure, cast-in channel fixings were used
where required. The services are located within the

from bracing members.

Cladding and finishes


The architects attached great importance to the
visual impact of surfaces; cladding and interior
finishes were therefore carefully selected to enhance
the appeal of the building.
The choice of glass as the principal cladding
material gives the station its exhilarating light and
airy feel. Some 2500 overlapping panels, up to 2.4 m
long and with flexible concertina joints, solved the
problem of covering the tortuous, irregular shape of

helping to create bright and attractive spaces. The

For the large areas of exposed concrete - soffits,
structural columns, shear walls and edge beams - a
high-quality architectural finish was specified. This
was particularly important at departure level, where
passengers have time to sit and view the interior in
detail.

DESIGN
Architecture
In the words of EPS’s brief to the architects, the
design for Waterloo International had to be
‘appropriate to the 1990s, but in keeping with the
great tradition of British railway architecture’. Equal
emphasis was placed on safety and the creation of
streamlined, linear routes for arrivals and departures
(circulation paths had to take into account the
possibility of 1500 passengers arriving within the
space of 15 minutes).
From the outset, the unique nature of the rail
traffic planned for Waterloo - quarter-mile-long

JOHN EDWARD LINDEN


trains capable of reaching Paris in three hours and
Brussels in twenty minutes less - suggested that the
station would be unlike any other in Britain. After
Spanning the years: Waterloo International echoes the great age of Victorian engineering while
extensive analysis of traffic and passenger flows, and
establishing a new era of railway travel detailed study of the site geometry, the initial design
for the station was presented in mid-1988.
Subsequent modifications led the architects to move
the passenger areas below the platforms, where they
were separated into arrival and departure zones.
The unusual curved shape of the station was
determined by the turning radius of the trains and
the confines of the busy city-centre site. The five
platforms - two centrally located sets of double tracks
and a single track on the western edge of the station
- also determined the geometry and form of the
building.

The unusual curved shape of the structure is clearly visible in the public areas with a wonderful opportunity for innovation, they
have produced a building that both captures the
grandeur of Brunel’s large-span iron-roofed stations
and establishes a distinctive identity for the new age
of European travel promised by the Channel Tunnel.

Structure
A 1.8 m-deep basement floor slab, spanning the
shallow London Underground Bakerloo and
Northern lines, forms a raft foundation to the
structure. The slab has been designed to
accommodate ground movements and the future
construction of the Jubilee Line Extension. Above
lies the arrivals floor slab, and together the two slabs
form a heavily reinforced concrete box which
carries the track support and platform structures.
The space formed by these structures contains the
arrival and departure areas, in effect creating a
The geometry and form of the building were determined by the five tracks building within a bridge.

Over 200 m long, this building extends from the


concourse at Waterloo Station to a series of road
bridges over Leake Street. Its roof is formed by the
platform structure, which extends a further 200 m
on existing brick arches and is mounted on sliding
bearings to accommodate thermal expansion.
Concrete double-height shear walls are located
below the platforms, providing both longitudinal
and transverse fixity Transverse fixity is also provided
where a load-carrying wall marks the end of the
track support structure. The shear walls are exposed
and comprise twin diagonal strut/tie members
enclosing feature voids. The walls provide restraint
for the braking, traction and centrifugal loads
generated by the trains.
The track support structure was required to have
two-hour fire resistance and to form an insulation
barrier against condensation and noise from the
trains. This meant that any design using structural
steel would need whole or partial concrete
encasement. By 1989, design and cost studies had
indicated that a reinforced concrete structure was
suitable, but with certain steel elements to reduce
dead weight.

TREVOR JONES
Since an office development was proposed for
above the terminal, design work was undertaken for
a partly concrete-encased steel structure. Although A cross-bracing shear wall - an excellent example of concrete workmanship

the plan was dropped in summer 1990, the design


remained unchanged. However, at bid stage an
alternative structural form was presented using
reinforced concrete. The cost and time advantages
proved decisive and the new design was accepted,
but with steel for some elements such as the plate
girder bridges that span Leake Street and an enclosed
service mezzanine bridge that links the back of
Waterloo International with the domestic station.

Roof
The single-span roof is the focal point of the project;
it forms a steel and glass crown to the four-level
concrete structure and provides a lasting impression
for passengers arriving from, or departing for, the
Continent.
Asymmetrical in shape, the roof is essentially a
flattened three-pin bow-string arch. The centre pin
is moved to one side so that the arch rises steeply on
the west to allow headroom for trains. Here, the
elevation acts as a large ‘picture’ window, vividly
displaying passenger and train movements especially
when lit at night.

Underneath the edge panels is a double height


transparent wall, comprising 1200 m2 of toughened
glass sheets, which enables the arrivals concourse to
be visible to all. Along its length it is punctured by
two cross-bracing shear walls with inset louvres - a
marvellous example of concrete workmanship.
The selection of materials was given careful
consideration - particularly since a structural design
life of at least 125 years was requested by EPS.
Overall, 10 000 m2 of glass and 7000 m2 of stainless
steel sheet were used in the roof.

General
and departure areas
Any major development on a restricted city-centre
site presents a challenge; at Waterloo the problems
were particularly complex.
First, there was the difficulty of building the
terminal alongside a fully operational railway station.
Careful planning was therefore needed to prevent
any disruption to train services and passenger
movements.
The narrowness of the site, flanked by office
blocks and Network SouthEast platforms, meant that
footprint space was at a premium. Construction
depth was limited by two London Underground
tunnels, and height by the desire to keep the new
platform as close as possible to the level of the
domestic station. Other obstacles included a new
Underground station concourse, a British Rail
tunnel, four banks of escalators, and neighbouring
buildings. In addition, there was also the hazard of

commissioned in the UK was undertaken. This
included drilling 40 boreholes to depths of between
15 m and 70 m; high quality sampling using thin wall
tubes and rotary coring; in-situ testing; 20 trial pits
next to the existing foundations; and 15 rotary cores
of the existing foundations.
The complexity and diversity of the project,
coupled with the requirement for a fast-track
programme, led EPS to choose construction

To have completed the structure so swiftly and
without any major delays is a credit to the close
working relationship between the client, the
construction manager, the consultants and the trade
contractors.

These major groundworks were needed to place the foundation
terminal’s upper floor on the same level as
Waterloo’s existing platforms, which sit on brick
vaults built in the early 19th century.
The restricted site meant that foundations had to
be completed in three stages. To begin, the first
portion of the raft foundation was cast in the middle
of the site, from which the perimeter diaphragm wall
and sheet-piled walls were propped during the
second stage. Finally, when the perimeter works
were finished, the props were removed and concrete
poured to complete the raft. This phase of

and guniting inside the arches where necessary.
As a result of the removal of the original ground,
the basement raft had been predicted to heave by up
to 20 mm during the life of the structure. During
construction next to the existing arches, downward
settlements were predicted; since the structure is
continuous across the interface, induced bending
from differential settlements was considered.
Investigations showed that, provided the
magnitude of differential movement was limited, Concrete construction

Monitoring of the structure was carried out regularly


so any excess settlements could be catered for by
jacking the structure at the bearing locations.
Inevitably, construction of the substructure was
affected by refinements to the superstructure design.
In particular; the thermal stresses imposed by a
concrete superstructure required around 500 tonnes
more reinforcing steel. To avoid a delay, manpower
and resources were increased. After only 15 months,
fit-out trades were able to move into the concrete
shell.

LILLEY’S PHOTOGRAPHY
Superstructure
Construction of the track support structure began
over the arches at the north end of the terminal.
The track and platform structure was completed first to allow roof construction; the departure floor
slab was cast at a later stage
Columns in this area were precast to shorten
construction time. Once the shear walls had been
completed and tied into the slab, the temporary
restraining falsework was taken away and moved
forward for the next section. Falsework erection,
fixing of formwork and reinforcement, and concrete
pours followed in sequence down the length of the
terminal. The programme required the track and
platform structure to be finished first to allow
erection of the roof to begin on time. The departure
floor slab, constructed at a later stage, used traditional
falsework supported from the arrivals slab below and
back-propped to basement slab.
The maximum concrete strength required by the
design was 50 N/mm2, and this was used throughout
to minimize differential shrinkage. Ground
granulated blastfurnace slag (ggbs) was used as a
cement addition and to help give a mix capable of
being pumped under summer conditions. High early

Lightweight concrete was used for the trackbed, insulating the passenger areas below exothermic reaction and extrapolating likely
strengths). The concrete finish was achieved using
grp coffer moulds for the slab soffits and special
sandblasted steel shutters for the columns. Retarding
and plasticizing additives were used in the mix where
reinforcement was particularly congested.

Roof
The roof was thoroughly tested before being erected
on site, including a trial assembly of a 48 m-span bay
at Wetherby in Yorkshire.
After assembly of the truss sections on the
concrete deck, the 36 arches were positioned by
mobile cranes. A new bay was started every

THE CONCRETE CONTRIBUTION


August 1990
The fast-track programme dictated that the design
could not be ‘frozen’ before letting the structure
packages. Concrete was the most suitable building
material as it allowed changes to the layout and the
service penetrations much later than would have
been possible with a steel-frame design. The
conversion to reinforced concrete on the
superstructure was a crucial decision which resulted
in a saving of over £2 million and an 8% reduction

LILLEY’S PHOTOGRAPHY
in programme time. In addition to this economic
advantage, reinforced concrete provided the
following benefits:
• Mass - a strong, robust structure was required to
absorb the braking forces of the 400 m-long,
800 tonne trains.
• Stiffness - concrete’s innate stiffness meant fewer
cladding joints and flexible fixings than in a steel-

LILLEY’S PHOTOGRAPHY
framed structure.
• Versatility - concrete was an economic means of
accommodating a complex variety of surface
finishes and adjustable fixings. Precast elements September 1991
ensured factory-quality finishes and a reduced
construction programme.
• Aesthetic appeal - the monolithic, stone-like
quality of concrete offered an attractive
counterbalance to the lightweight, transparent
LILLEY’S PHOTOGRAPHY

roof. It also allowed the architecture to express the


structural form as much as possible.
• Fire resistance - concrete’s inherent fire resistance April 1992
easily achieved the required two-hour standard.
• Noise insulation - the ability of concrete to absorb
noise and vibration was particularly useful.
• Fatigue resistance - concrete structures are
generally less sensitive to live load effects than a
lighter steel structure with discrete elements and
connections.
• Buildability - the geometry of the site required a
building material that was versatile and flexible.
Concrete was able to overcome site restrictions
(especially the low construction depth), speed the
sequencing of trades, and meet the fast-track
construction programme.
Completed on time and within budget, Waterloo
International is the first major railway terminal to be
built in Britain since the Victorian era; the first to
provide facilities for a direct high-speed inter-city
European service; and the first to extend airline-style

travel to rail passengers. The project’s success can be


attributed to excellent design, effective teamwork on
site, and the selection and creative use of concrete as
