NR/L3/CIV/076 Management of the Risk of Bridge Strikes from Road Vehicles and Waterborne Vessels

Available from NR Portal, CIS.

The purpose of this Network Rail standard is to:

– define the requirements for the management of Underline and Overline Bridges such that there is no unacceptable risk to safety as the result of Bridge Strikes
– reduce the risks to the operational railway from bridge strikes, as far as is reasonably practical, by assessing the safety risks at each Bridge and implementing mitigation measures as necessary
– reduce train delays resulting from Bridge Strikes, as far as is reasonably practical, without compromising the safety of train operators
