Overview
Expression of Interest Tunnel Vent, Fans and Fan Drives MEP Subcontractor Tunnel Vent, Fans and Fan Drives (Survey and RIBA 4) Scope The objective of this scope is to replace components that form part of the ventilation system at Central Terminal Area (CTA) North and South, Terminal 4 North and South and Sipson Farm, that are at their end of life. The components of concern are Fan Drives and Low Voltage Air Circuit Breakers.
It is proposed that all components for the 8 No. existing Variable Speed Drives (VSD) which are close to their designed lifetime are to be replaced, together with the panel. It is proposed that all components for the 5 No. existing Direct On-Line (DOL) starters which are close to their designed lifetime are to be replaced, together with the panel are replaced with VSD's.
The VSDs are to be connected to the Tunnel Control System (TCS). The incoming air circuit breakers (ACB's) and the low voltage protection devices (MCCB/MCB's) within the existing switch gear will be replaced with new devices.
Additional details
Where the impact is significant, this may lead to replacing the entire LV switchgear and the DOL panels for the associated equipment. New lighting will be provided by energy-efficient LED luminaires, as the existing lighting system is in poor condition.
As part of small power provision, 240V socket outlet assemblies shall be provided near damper units. The existing junction boxes and cable termination boxes need to be replaced with new equipment.
Item Question Q1 What capability do you have of understanding the requirements for replacing Electrical infrastructure etc., Specifically considering the constraints of an operational rail network? Q2 What capability do you have of carrying out a survey of the 5 ventilation buildings non-operational hours to provide all the information required to complete the RIBA 4 design? Note: - RIBA 5 onwards including construction is excluded.
