Where it is considered not reasonably practicable1 to comply with the requirements in this standard/control document, permission to comply with a specified alternative should be sought in accordance with the Network Rail standards and controls process, or with the Railway Group Standards Code if applicable. If this standard/control document contains requirements that are designed to demonstrate compliance with legislation they shall be complied with irrespective of a project’s GRIP stage. In all other circumstances, projects that have formally completed GRIP Stage 3 (Option Selection) may continue to comply with any relevant Network Rail standards/control documents that were current when GRIP Stage 3 was completed. NOTE 1: Legislation includes Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSIs). NOTE 2: The relationship of this standard/control document with legislation and/or external standards is described in the purpose of this standard. Disclaimer In issuing this standard/control document for its stated purpose, Network Rail Limited makes no warranties, expressed or implied, that compliance with all or any standards/control documents it issues is sufficient on its own to provide safety or compliance with legislation. Users are reminded of their own duties under legislation. Compliance with a Network Rail standard/control document does not, of itself, confer immunity from legal obligations. Where Network Rail Limited has granted permission to copy extracts from Network Rail standards or control documents, Network Rail Limited accepts no responsibility for, nor any liability in connection with, the use of such extracts, or any claims arising there from. This disclaimer applies to all forms of media in which extracts from Network Rail standards and control documents might be reproduced.

The Model Clauses incorporated into the Technical Workscope should meet the relevant requirements of Group Standards and Network Rail standards and also reflect industry good practice, so that the Contact documentation for the Works will; 2 contain all the necessary technical requirements for quality, buildability, maintainability, serviceability and decommissioning, be consistent in format and content, be able to be produced without undue time and effort. Scope This standard covers the use of Model Clauses for Civil Engineering Works that may be undertaken on the rail network. The Clauses are appended to this standard, and an index of them is provided in 8. 3 Roles and responsibilities The Specifier shall: 4 1 Use the Model Clauses appended to this standard when preparing the Technical Workscope: only those relevant to the Works should be included in the Workscope. 2 Prepare suitable wording to cover elements of work not covered by the appended Model Clauses: all such additional Clauses shall comply with the requirements of the relevant Group Standards and Network Rail standards. Where appropriate, advice on the suitability of the wording shall be sought from the Professional Head of Buildings and Civils. Definitions and abbreviations Technical Workscope The Section of the Contract documentation which provides all the project-specific information; defines the specification, implementation standards and assurance requirements; and incorporates the appropriate Model Clauses for the Works. Works The design, construction and maintenance of a structure which is located on, supports or crosses Network Rail property. Page 6 of 10 Reference Issue Publication date Compliance date 5 NR/L2/CIV/140 12 04 March 2017 03 June 2017 Referencing of Model Clauses Each Section of the Model Clauses is referenced individually: for example, NR/L3/CIV/140/010C. 1 The first two letters identify the document as a Network Rail standard. 2 The following letter and number define the type of standard - in this case Level 3. 3 The next three letters define the ownership of the standard - in this case Civil Engineering. 4 The next three numbers define the standard number - in this case 140. 5 The last three numbers refer to the Section of the Model Clauses that form the Appendix to this standard - in this case Section 10. 6 The final letter is one other of the following: o C - this suffix identifies that part of the Appendix as a Model Clause. o N - this suffix identifies that part of the Appendix as Notes for Guidance for a Specifier. These provide (a) advice on the selection of alternative text for some Model Clauses, (b) the template for these alternatives, (c) references and (d) information on the relationship between various Clauses. o GN - this suffix identifies that part of the Appendix as a Guidance Note. 6 Format of Model Clauses At present, the Model Clauses (suffix C) are provided in one or other of the following formats: 1 The parts issued before 1st June 2008 are provided in both read-only (pdf) and Word versions. 2 Those issued from 1st June 2008 on are provided in a read-only (pdf) version, and form the main document. These shall not be amended by the Specifier without the prior approval of the Head of Structures; where approval is given the amended Clause shall be included in the appendices document. In both cases, the accompanying Notes for Specifiers (suffix N) are provided in both read-only and Word versions. The latter version includes those Model Clauses that may be amended by the Specifier to suit the Works at hand: where these Clauses are used they form the appendices document. Page 7 of 10 NR/L2/CIV/140 12 04 March 2017 03 June 2017 Reference Issue Publication date Compliance date 7 Work not covered by the Model Clauses Where the proposed contract involves elements of work not covered by the appended Model Clauses, the Specifier shall prepare suitable wording to cover such elements, and incorporate this into the appendices document. All such additional Clauses shall comply with the requirements of the relevant Group Standards and Network Rail standards. Where appropriate, advice on the suitability of the wording shall be sought from the relevant Head of Asset. 8 Index of Model Clauses Section Title 10 21 22 23 25 30 - 35 General Aerial Survey Land and Trackwork Surveys Structural Repair Survey Presentation of Survey Data and Information Ground Investigation 30: General Requirements for Ground Investigation 31: Schedule 1: Information 32: Schedule 2: Exploratory Holes 33: Schedule 3: Employer’s Representative’s Facilities 34: Schedule 4: Specification Amendments 35: Schedule 5: Specification Additions Demolition and Site Clearance General requirements for Earthworks and Excavations Excavations Earthworks Grouting of Embankments General Requirements for Piling Precast Concrete Piles Cast-in-place Piles Steel Piles Timber Piles Testing of Piles General Requirements for Embedded Retaining Walls Diaphragm Walls Embedded Retaining Walls constructed using Bored Concrete Piles Sheet Pile Walls Structural Concrete withdrawn Structural Concrete Repairs Concrete for Ancillary Purposes Steelwork (BS 5400) withdrawn Structural Steelwork Repairs Bearings Guidance Note for the specification of bearings 40 50 51 52 53 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 83 85 90 93 100 100GN Issue of Section 2 1A 1A 2 1A 1C Publication date June 2008 Sept 1996 Sept 1996 June 2010 Sept 1996 Dec 1996 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 June 2008 Sept 2010 Sept 2010 Sept 2010 Sept 2010 March 2010 March 2010 March 2010 March 2010 March 2010 March 2010 March 2010 March 2010 2 March 2010 2 2 2 2 1B 1A 2 2 March 2010 Aug 2008 Aug 2008 Aug 2008 Jan 1996 Feb 1997 June 2010 June 2010 Page 8 of 10 NR/L2/CIV/140 12 04 March 2017 03 June 2017 Reference Issue Publication date Compliance date 110 111 112 113 114 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 130 -

The Clauses are appended to this standard, and an index of them is provided in 8. What’s new/ what’s changed: These are new modules of NR/L2/CIV/140. A new concrete specification has been added to the Model Clauses for Civil Engineering Works that complies with the Structural Eurocodes. This specification has the same basis as Highway’s England guidance. The previous concrete specifications are withdrawn as these are based on British Standards that have been superseded.
