Page-29/3116 EASE OF MAINTENANCE16.1 GeneralDesign the transport facility for durability and robustness for the purpose of maintenance. The designershall ensure that all parts of the transport facility, including components provided by the System WideContractors, are accessible for carrying out cleaning and maintenance work.The Designer shall be responsible for ensuring that all maintenance access is provided in accordancewith the latest edition of the Factories (Building Operations and Works of Engineering Construction)regulations.16.2 DesignAvoid the installation of any services requiring maintenance at a height greater than 4 meters abovestaircases.Avoid the installation of any services requiring maintenance above escalatorsEnsure access to all services requiring maintenance fixed at the soffit of any beam or slab, with accessequipment that enable reach to the soffit through the ceiling.16.3 StrategyThe designer shall provide a maintenance strategy and access report, which demonstrate how cleaningand maintenance work is to be carried out efficiently. This strategy shall be presented in acomprehensive report, which shall include:- The frequency and method of access to each of the items identified.- Maintenance materials and equipment which should be retained within the facility for the day today cleaning and maintenance of the facility.- All items of equipment necessary to achieve maintenance access together with the storage spacerequired to accommodate them within the facility. The storage space so identified shall contain allnecessary hooks, shelves, and services necessary to store and maintain the maintenance accessequipment.- Safety equipment such as fall arrest systems and their operating procedures- Details of all specialist tools required for the operation of access panels.- Panels inspection etc.- Power requirement for access equipment.Special attention shall be allocated to the architectural finishes and E&M services directly above thefollowings:- where there is bank of escalators (more than 2 numbers)- no staircase adjacent to the escalators- high void areas16.4 Floor, Ceiling and Wall FinishesAll access panels shall be designed to be removed/opened by one man.Access panels shall be integrated with the surrounding finishes.All replacement parts shall be easily available to facilitate repair and replacement in future.No access panels shall be located in protected areas.The position of cladding access hatches to scupper drain to be coordinated with floor trap locationsbehind cladding.Hinged downwards access panels shall be integrated into the ceiling system where access is required ona yearly or more frequent basis.16.5 Maintenance BoundaryThe designer is to work closely with the Authority in identifying the maintenance boundary of thetransport facility. The maintenance boundary shall then be clearly indicated on the Site Plan andsubmitted to the Authority.For stations the designer shall consider the Maintenance Guidelines for Rapid Transit SystemOperators when defining the boundary.May 2013Section 2 of Architectural Design Criteria – Revision A2
Page-30/3117 FARE COLLECTION17.1 LayoutDesigners shall ensure that the Ticketing Machines , the Passenger Service Centre (PSC), and, whereprovided, the Ticket Office and other Service Counters, are all prominently visible to commutersentering the transport facility.Planning of areas associated with the fare system shall address the requirements of the followingactivities:- Passenger waiting- Ticket sales office.- Ticket purchase from machine- Ticket purchase by people with disabilities from service counters.- Queuing to enter/exit at the AFC gate(s).- Passengers seeking information about trains, buses, destinations and the surroundingneighbourhood.- The use of public telephones, ATMs and other facilities.- Transfer from escalators and lifts, serving street and platform, at subsurface control areas.- Staff accommodation.- Retail concessions, advertising.- Refuse collection.- Circulation space and connections between the transport facility and adjacent developments.- Orientation to way out and station platform or bus bays.Waiting space for passengers shall avoid conflicting with station AFC gatelines and service counterlocation.17.2 Service CountersThe AFC gates and ticket machines shall be clearly visible from the Passenger Service Centre (PSC) orother Service Counters.For stations : The PSC shall be located at the AFC gates in the most suitable position for supervisingthe movement of passengers within the concourse area, the gates and the ticket machines.17.3 Ticket / Add Value MachinesThe ticket / add value machines shall be located to avoid congestionThe machines shall be located to permit servicing without seriously impeding passenger movementThe relative location of the machines and the AFC store shall take into account the securityrequirement for cash handling. Ensure a stepless route between these two location.For stations: the location of machines shall also avoid the creation of reverse flows to the AutomatedFare Collection (AFC) gates.Provision shall be made for future machines to be added as the number of passengers using the facilityincreases.For rear access ticket machines a Fare Equipment Room (FER) is required.For front access ticket machines a Fare Equipment Closet (FEC) is requiredFor the GTMs in the remote fareline, a recess area shall be created between two GTMs for theinstallation of Help(Epax linked) phone for passenger communication with PSC.17.4 Station AFC GatesA single gateline is operationally preferred but split gatelines may be provided if the site specificpassenger catchment and flow justifies.Run-off queuing spaces in the concourse paid area from the AFC gatelines should be directed towardsexit routes where possible.Queuing provision at the PSC, Ticket Sales Office (where provided), and ticket machines shall avoidconflict with the entry/exit routes to the gatelines.The AFC gates shall be located to provide direct entry to the stairs and escalators leading towardsplatform level, avoiding cross flows of passengers. Designers must note that the AFC gates aredesigned to permit reverse flows to suit peak demand.May 2013Section 2 of Architectural Design Criteria – Revision A2
