Germany - During peak hours, the light rail line 1 currently has

Description

At present, light rail line 1 has no longer exceeded its capacity limit on some sections during peak times, but it can be assumed that this will soon be the case again. Light rail lines 7 and 9 will also exceed their capacity limits in the short term. Against the backdrop of the forecast population growth and the desired traffic turnaround to strengthen the environmental network, a significant expansion of the available capacities is absolutely essential in the short to medium term. The capacity expansions on the east-west axis are also a prerequisite for extensions to Cologne's light rail network, e.g. to Neubrück, Zündorf-Süd or Bergisch Gladbach-Moitzfeld. Increased frequencies on the existing infrastructure are no longer possible due to the train frequency of 5 trips per 10 minutes per direction in the central area, so that additional capacity requires either the construction of an additional line through the city center or the upgrading of the existing line for longer trains. Due to the available financing options, only upgrading for longer trains currently offers a realistic prospect of implementation in terms of time.
The use of long trains (approx. 90 m instead of the previous 60 m; i.e. increasing the available space by 50%) on the east-west axis requires numerous existing stops to be adapted.
These four underground stops on the right bank of the Rhine are relevant for this project:
? Deutz Technical University [DZB]
? Kalk Post Office [KPO]
? Kalk Chapel [KKP]
? Fuldaer Straße [FDS]

The overarching project objectives for all stops are:
? Fire protection upgrades, including the creation of additional entrances (based on the fire protection concepts as a result of increased passenger numbers)
? Creation of barrier-free accessibility
? Making the station more attractive

The relevant performance profiles\/trades are:

Technical equipment: Wastewater and water systems in accordance with § 53-56 and Annex 15, Group 1 of HOAI 2021:

- Deutz Technical University [DZB];
Facilities are provided to collect rainwater for the new stairs.
These are to be connected to the existing wastewater system. For the conversions at the kiosk and
the social rooms, the wastewater and water systems must be adapted.
The combined extinguishing and drinking water pipes must be decoupled.
An inventory must be drawn up.

- Kalk Post [KPO]:
Facilities are provided to collect rainwater for the new stairs.
These are to be connected to the existing wastewater system. For the conversions at the kiosk and
the social rooms, the wastewater and water systems must be adapted.

- Lime chapel [KKP]:
Facilities are provided to collect rainwater for the new stairs.
These are to be connected to the existing sewage system. For the conversions at the kiosk and
the social rooms, the wastewater and water systems must be adapted.
An inventory must be drawn up.

- Fuldaer Straße [FDS]:
Facilities are planned to collect rainwater for the new stairs.
These are to be connected to the existing wastewater system. For the conversions at the kiosk and
the social rooms, the wastewater and water systems must be adapted.
An inventory must be drawn up.

? Technical equipment: Process engineering systems (lifting systems) in accordance with § 53-56 and Annex 15, Group 7.2 of HOAI 2021 (for all 4 stops):
The existing facilities are to be renewed. Due to the construction of two additional staircases from the driving level to the surface and the construction of two elevators, it must be checked which measures must be taken to ensure the
continue to guarantee water drainage. These measures must be planned. The building automation and MSR for the lifting systems and pumps to be planned must also be planned. The control system of the corresponding device manufacturer should be used. There must be a co... (The text has been cut off. You can find the entire text in the PDF file)
