network. It is proposed that the monopole and antennas be accessed via an elevated work<br />
platform or through the use <strong>of</strong> a ladder and dual lanyard system.<br />
No additional trackwork will be required, so there will be no additional interruptions to train<br />
services as a result.<br />
Possible Control Measures<br />
Impacts associated with traffic and access will be minimised through a range <strong>of</strong> control<br />
measures, which may include, but will not be limited to those outlined below.<br />
• A Traffic Management Plan will be developed for the proposed works.<br />
• A dilapidation survey will be completed before demobilisation.<br />
• Any pavement or road surfaces that are damaged as a result <strong>of</strong> construction works will be<br />
restored when work is finished.<br />
4.15 Utilities and Services<br />
Existing Situation<br />
There is a number <strong>of</strong> existing services, such as electricity, fibre and sewer close to the<br />
proposed site. These services should be identified before construction work begins. Several<br />
methods, including non-destructive excavation will be used to allocate underground<br />
installations.<br />
Potential Impacts<br />
The impact <strong>of</strong> non-destructive excavation has been discussed in other sections <strong>of</strong> the REF.<br />
The proposal will be connected to the existing electricity and fibre supply and does not require<br />
connections to any water or gas. RailCorp have an existing metered power supply and will<br />
continue to use this existing supply. No overhead wires will need to be relocated.<br />
A number <strong>of</strong> public utilities are in the vicinity <strong>of</strong> the site and there is potential for some known or<br />
unknown services to be impacted during excavation or during relocation/connections.<br />
Depending on the service, outages or interruptions could affect nearby properties or the rail<br />
network.<br />
Possible Control Measures<br />
• Ensure that a Dial Before You Dig and RailCorp services search is undertaken to identify<br />
services.<br />
• Public utility providers will be consulted to minimise the impacts during any utility<br />
relocations or readjustments.<br />
4.16 Light spill<br />
Light spill impacts will not occur as night works are not proposed. In addition, there is no new<br />
permanent lighting proposed. No further consideration <strong>of</strong> light spill is considered necessary.
