6. Baseline Readings
Changes in the gauge, geometry and position of the track need to be determined in accordance with
NR/L2/CIV/177.

Pre and post readings will be taken using a cross level to measure cant and twist. 5 point and offset
ruler to measure vertical alignment. Tape to measure horizontal alignment.

The difference in these values will be compared to the baseline values recorded prior to works
commencing. These are recorded in the table below.

7. Affected Network Rail Assets

The following Network Rail assets will be affected by the works being undertaken.

Note: Where specific monitoring is required for the identified assets additional sections should be
added to this TMP and they should be referenced in the table below accordingly.

Affected Asset Location (Miles & Yards) Monitoring Relevant

Required Section of

End:117.4 exceeds or is
2100 Start: 117.0 close to CRT (W) 8
End: 117.4 a watchman and
3905 Start: 117.0 ESR will be 8
End:117.4 deployed.
Monitoring of
CRT will be done
every day from
depot.

8. Monitoring Frequency
Following a review of site conditions and the type of works, it is expected that the measurements of
the track and the analysis of the readings will be completed at the following frequency.

Note: NR/L2/CIV/177 identifies the minimum required frequency while works are being carried out.

CRT still exceeds
past the CRT(W)
monitoring will
still continue)

*Note 8.1 – This frequency is minimum of 4 hours for High Risk sites and every 12 hours for Medium
Risk sites in accordance with NR/L2/CIV/177.

Readings will start from the date at which works with the potential to affect NR assets commence
and, depending on the agreed monitoring requirements for the site, will be carried out during and
continue following completion of works in accordance with NR/L2/CIV/177 (Table 4).

If movement is apparent, any required immediate actions in line with Table 5 will be taken to
maintain the safety of the line'

Where the project is not running to planned dates, monitoring will be carried out at the frequency
appropriate for the stage of the project.

9. Fault Level and Mandatory Actions

Minimum fault levels and actions are referenced in NR/L2/CIV/177.

Following a review of the works being undertaken and predicted ground movements the following
trigger levels and mandatory actions have been determined for the duration of the works.

The actions in the table below need to be followed upon reaching the predetermined trigger level.

Note 9.1: Consideration can be given to producing additional trigger levels on top of those detailed in
the table below if they are required for the specific project.
