Start date of works March 2019 – Installation of monitoring system within the NR
(affecting NR Assets) assets.
June 2019 – Start of hard demolition.
End date of works December 2022 – Completion of superstructure core and frame.
(affecting NR Assets) February 2023 – Removal of monitoring system from the NR assets.
Description of the work The proposed 20 Ropemaker Street development involves
being undertaken demolishing the existing buildings and constructing a new 9 to 26
storey building with one to three basement levels. The existing
basement level will be generally maintained but slightly deepened
on the eastern side of the development site, nearest to the
Network Rail (NR) assets.
The preliminary construction sequence is as follows:
1. Demolish the existing building down to the ground floor.

2. Install temporary props and demolish the ground floor slab.

3. Install the secant piled wall and internal load bearing piles from
the existing basement level.
4. Excavate the basement with temporary propping installed at
basement level 1 with a secant piled wall and capping beam.
To the north west of the site an additional level of propping at
secant wall mid-height to control lateral deflections.
5. Formation of the pile caps and construction of the basement
substructure, removing the temporary propping as
appropriate.
6. Construction of the superstructure core and frame.

The nearby NR assets consist of the Moorgate Line Platforms and

Running Tunnels. There are also LUL, Crossrail and Thames Water
assets within the vicinity of the development, these assets will be
considered separately. The LUL tunnels are directly below the NR
assets.
The impact of the development on the NR assets has been
considered and Monitoring of the assets located near to the
development site will be carried out for the above works. A
monitoring proposal has been submitted detailing the proposed
monitoring scheme (ref. WIE14266-100-R-7-1-1-MPNR).
Condition surveys of the nearby NR assets will be carried out
before the start of demolition, after demolition has been
completed, after piling/excavation and after completion of the
building structure.

6. Baseline Readings
This will be addressed by undertaking a condition survey inspection of the NR assets as well as
baseline monitoring of the tracks.

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

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

Note: Where baseline readings cannot be related in terms of Eastings, Northings and Elevation the
above table should be modified accordingly.

Note: Where there are too many baseline readings to record in the table above they should be
recorded in a separate file and that file referenced here.

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.

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.

The monitoring system is planned to be installed during possessions in week 51 of 2019. Power and
communication routes run to a location in the nearby London Underground (LU) Moorgate Station
and readings can only start recording once approvals from LU are in place to install the power and
communications routes. At a minimum, readings will start from the date at which works with the
potential to affect NR assets commence and continue following completion of works for a minimum
of four weeks. It is proposed to monitor the assets for a period of 8 weeks post superstructure
construction.

If movement is still being noticed 6 weeks after completion of the superstructure works then
monitoring will be continued for an additional period in line with NR/L2/CIV/177.

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: 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.
