uildings and vegetation to the south of the rail corridor. The top of the monopole may be visibleto some nearby businesses on the north side of the railway corridor as there is no screening.Electromagnetic energy (EME) impacts have also been considered and the EME levels for theproposal will be well within the limits set by the Australian Radiation Protection and NuclearSafety Agency (ARPANSA).Environmental ManagementFollowing determination of the project, construction works will be undertaken in accordance withthe program wide CEMP and site specific ECM. The CEMP and ECM will further detail REFmitigation measures and will be prepared in accordance with the following:Guideline for the Preparation of Environmental Management Plans (Department ofInfrastructure, Planning and Natural Resources, 2004)The Environmental Management Plan for DTRS (UGL Infrastructure, 2010)TfNSW Guide to Environmental Control Map (2012).The following sub-plans are proposed in the REF and will be prepared concurrently with theCEMP and/or ECM as appropriate:Erosion and Sediment Control PlanWater Management PlanWaste Management PlanTraffic Management Plan.The program wide CEMP and site specific ECM will be reviewed and approved by TfNSW priorto the commencement of construction..Page 6 of 75
1 Introduction1.1 Background to the ProjectTfNSW currently operates an analogue train radio system known as MetroNet for operationalcommunications between signallers and train drivers. This system has reached the end of itsserviceable life and requires replacement. The New South Wales Government and TfNSW havebegun work on the implementation of a Digital Train Radio System (DTRS) which will replacethis analogue system and address a number of recommendations from the Waterfall SpecialCommission of Inquiry regarding communications in NSW rail operations and within RailCorp.Following the establishment of TfNSW, RailCorp became an operating agency within TfNSW.TfNSW is now the proponent for the DTRS.The primary objectives of the DTRS project are to:Provide continuous radio coverage across the entire electrified rail network;Replace and improve on the current MetroNet communications system;Provide a technology platform for future development of the Automatic Train Protectionsystem; andAdopt best management and administrative practices while complying with the principles ofecologically sustainable development.The DTRS will provide secure and reliable voice and data communications via a GlobalSystems Mobile – Railway (GSM-R) platform. It will be used by train controllers, train drivers,train guards and signallers. The system is designed to allow for growth in both the size of thenetwork and the number of services using it. It will be compatible with communications systemsused by other users of the network, e.g. freight operators.The DTRS will provide 100% radio coverage along approximately 1455 kilometres of theelectrified rail network, including along approximately 70 kilometres of tunnel and has anexpected design life of at least 15 years.The DTRS will include:A main switching centre at a CBD location;A geographically separated back-up switching centre at Homebush;On-train equipment in approximately 675 train cabs;About 250 base transceiver stations (BTS) as well as other base stations in tunnels;Approximately 65 dispatcher terminal units; andCapability to provide staff with handheld terminals.Page 7 of 75
