Temple has carried out a thorough review of land train systems operating internationally on behalf of English Heritage with a view to a similar system being provided at the new Stonehenge Visitor Centre. The review has included the environmental and operability of the various systems including the primary environmental impacts of air emissions and noise. We have considered the various power trains available and have advised on the acceptability of the system and appropriate mitigation measures.
We have also carried out a thorough review of the noise and air quality impacts of the construction stage of the project and have assisted in the development of a Construction Management Plan and negotiated appropriate guideline conditions with the LPA. Benefits
Temple has been able to bring a significant high level of resource to the project with over 30 years experience in transportation systems particularly related to guided and LRT systems. Utilising best available technologies we have built simulation software models to determine the environmental performance of the proposed land train system and have tested the impacts of specific mitigation measures. These measures have included the choice of power train systems and the use of environmental barriers and tunnel design to reduce the noise impacts.
