1 Introduction

1.1 Background BACS have appointed consultants Buro Happold (BH) to carry out an assessment of the flood risk to key Riyadh Metro Project (RMP) infrastructure within Package 1, resulting from rainfall-runoff and overland flow. As per the Employer Requirements, the assessment considers the 1 in 100 year Average Recurrence Interval (ARI) flood event, including an allowance for climate change (hereafter referred to as the ‘design flood event’). The assessment concluded that a number of the RMP items are at risk of flooding from overland flow in the design flood event. In each case, the estimated depths of flooding and peak velocities have been provided such that the Design Centres can consider flood mitigation measures to protect RMP infrastructure from this risk.

1.2 Purpose

The purpose of this interpretive report is to communicate the following information to the respective design teams in order to inform flood protection and mitigation designs:

available flood risk information available tools Design Centres can use to inform their designs recommended freeboard allowances and resulting design flood levels (derived at specific

locations only).

1.3 Report and Resources

The final BH report, entitled ‘Riyadh Metro Package 1 - Assessment of Flood Risk, Final Report, RevB’ dated 27-Nov-2015 is available on ACONEX. Appendices B & C, flood maps and velocity maps respectively, were uploaded as separate documents due to file size restrictions. Soft-copy GIS-compatible model output files are also available for flood depths, velocities and hazards, and are available on ACONEX in a zipped format. Table 1 Available Information

1.4 How to Use This Report

This interpretive report is issued as a guide to Design Centres on how to interpret and use the available flood risk information to inform their respective designs. Whilst the BH report contains generic information and recommendations, this interpretative report aims to provide more specific guidance to Design Centres. When studying and interpreting the BH report, it is important to note that:

the BH report recommends a blanket freeboard allowance of 500mm. This interpretive report recommends location-specific freeboard allowances, as reported in Table 6; and

the BH report estimates flood levels (i.e. elevations) at specific locations. However, because of a datum difference between the flood study’s surface model and the project topographical data the flood levels reported by BH in their report cannot be used for design purposes. Instead, the approach outlined in this report should be used to derive design flood elevations.

3 Climate Change

The ER doesn’t specifically address climate change; however, the contract (Exhibit D) stipulates a ‘specified design life of 100 years for all permanent civil engineering structures’ and that ‘the design subcontractor shall carefully identify the requirements to the design and construction that will secure the stated service life’ (Section 5.3.1, Page 18). As such, an allowance for climate change over the life of the RMP system was taken into account to ensure that infrastructure with a present day 1 in 100yr ARI flood protection standard will have that same standard towards the end of its design life. The assessment of the effects of climate change has been informed by the findings of Al Zawad1, which estimates that for the range of emissions scenarios, the impacts of climate change on rainfall is likely to be between a -7% and +40% change in rainfall intensity. A median value of +20% has been adopted which is in line with the recommendations of the Arriyadh Stormwater Masterplan Review, as agreed with the Arriyadh Development Agency (ADA).

4 Freeboard

Freeboard is often defined as the difference between the design flood level and the ultimate flood protection level. It’s an additional level allowance which is added to an estimated design flood level to accommodate uncertainty. Freeboard is an industry recognised design allowance to account for the inherent uncertainties associated with flood estimation and physical imponderables such as post-construction settlement or wave action. Appropriate freeboard allowances for design purposes were selected by BACS, as reported in Table 5 of this report. These freeboard recommendations are underpinned by a risk-based assessment, taking into account the consequences of flooding on the protected asset, as well as the degree of uncertainty involved in the flood estimation process. The risk-based assessment has been issued to RMTC for endorsement (Aconex Document No: M-BAC-000000-CG00-RPT-000003).

4.1 Risk-based Freeboard Allocation

BACS have adopted a risk-based approach in setting freeboard allowances for the various RMP design components, by considering the following factors:

flood source flood depth, velocity, and resulting flood hazard (flood hazard is a metric for determining the

level of danger to pedestrians and vehicles based on a combination of flood depth and velocity)

potential consequences of flooding and intended use of RMP design component (e.g. flooding of a station versus flooding of a park-and-ride)

existing stormwater drainage provisions in the area nature of the surrounding land and flow paths (e.g. where land slopes away from a station a

minimal freeboard will be required)

An estimated flood hazard was calculated for each RMP Package 1 design component using the ‘Flood Risk to People Best Practice Guide’2. The equation for calculating flood hazard is: Hazard Rating = depth x (velocity + 0.5) + debris factor The debris factor considers the ability of the flow to mobilise debris that may pose a risk to people or vehicles. Table 3 provides a summary of resultant hazard classifications, whilst Table 4 presents hazard rating values for combinations of depth (m) and velocity (m/s). Table 3 Flood Hazard Rating

Hazard Rating Flood Hazard Description

Less than 0.75 Low Caution

0.75 – 1.25 Moderate Danger for some pedestrians (i.e. children and the elderly)

1.25 – 2.50 Significant Danger for most pedestrians and some vehicles

More than 2.50 Extreme Danger for all pedestrians and vehicles

*Additional freeboard allowances are required in areas of significant/extreme flood hazard areas, or where flood impacts on critical infrastructure are deemed significant.

5 Flood Design Standards Adopted by BACS

The following basis of design was adopted for Package 1 in relation to flood protection:

Flood protection: 1:100yr ARI + 20% climate change + freeboard (refer to Table 5). Stormwater drainage design: 1:10yr ARI.

6 Flood Maps

6.1 Hard Copies (*.PDF format)

Flood maps, showing the indicative flood depth in the vicinity of stations, portals, access shafts, depots and TBM launch locations were produced and are presented in Appendix B of the flood report. Flood velocity, also indicating the direction of flow, is presented in Appendix C of the flood report. Hard copies of the flood maps can be downloaded from ACONEX (refer to Table 1).

6.2 Soft Copies (*.TIFF format)

Soft copy, GIS-compatible model output files that represent flood depth, velocity and hazard are also available from ACONEX (refer to Table 1). Seven flood models were developed to represent the wider Riyadh area. Model 1GHJ however is currently being reviewed, and outputs from this model will be made available as part of Revision B of this report, anticipated to be issued during w/e 30th Jan 2015. As a result, six separate GIS model outputs files are currently available, covering the catchments overlapping with Lines 1 and 2, as shown on Figure 1.

Figure 1 Flood Model Extents

Note: Models C15 and 2F2 overlap in coverage. Please refer to Section 6.3for guidance on which GIS output file to use for assessment purposes.

6.3 Using the GIS Model Output Files

The GIS model output files provide the flood modelling outputs. The format is a raster dataset with a resolution (grid cell size) of 5x5m for 6 of the models and a 15x15m resolution for one of the models (C15). As explained in Section 6.2 a 15m grid had to be adopted for Model C15 due to the size of its associated catchment, to limit model run times.

Each 5x5m (or 15x15m in the case of Model C15) cell represents a uniform result i.e. regardless of where one clicks within a cell it will produce the same flood result (depth, velocity or hazard).

The GIS model output files are georeferenced and as such can be imported directly into most GIS software applications such as ArcGIS, as well as some CAD software packages. By overlaying these layers onto project design information, associated flood risk information can be extracted at any point of interest. When first imported the TIFF files will display in monochrome, and the GIS/CAD operator must set the layer properties (e.g. symbology, colour ramp) manually to suit.

Figure 2 Typical Flood Depth Map Extract, showing 5x5 m Grid

Modelled flood level information (i.e. water surface elevation) is not currently available. Design flood levels, as reported in Table 6 were derived by adding the modelled flood depth at a specific location to the topographical spot elevation at that location, including an allowance for freeboard. The indicative nature of flood modelling must be borne in mind when Design Centres interpret the results, and a conservative approach should be adopted where possible. Freeboard allowances must be incorporated in the any flood protection design to accommodate uncertainty. Model Overlap - C15 and 2F2 As noted in Section 6.2 Models C15 and 2F2 overlap in their geographic coverage. C15 is a large catchment, for which a larger resolution (grid cell size) of 15x15m was adopted to make model run times more manageable. The 2F2 area was run with a finer resolution (5m grid) in order to gain greater clarity on the overland flow route which is known to come through the Ghirnatah and Ishniliyah neighbourhoods via Al Imam Abdullah Ibn Saud Ibn Abdulaziz Road.

Although Model C15 identifies these flow paths, it was considered that the additional detail provided by Model 2F2 would be of use in identifying the risk to Stations 2F1 and 2F2 from this flow path.

As such, for the stations covered by Model 2F2, the GIS model output files for Model 2F2 should be used for assessment/design purposes because it provides greater detail on the flood mechanisms for this area.

Each of these cells represents a 5x5 m area (or in the case of Model C15 a 15x15m area)

7 Recommended Design Flood Levels

Based on the approach outlined in Section 6.3, design flood levels were derived at a specific spot location for each station, shaft, portal, depot, park-and-ride, TBM launch shaft and at-grade location within depressed underpasses. Recommended design flood levels at these specific locations are presented in Table 6. It is important to note that the design flood levels provided in Table 6 are only applicable to the spot location shown, and it is the Design Centres’ responsibility to use the GIS model output files provided to ensure that all critical points of access are adequately protected against the design flood event (incl. an allowance for freeboard). Recommended freeboard allowances as provided in Table 6 are applicable to the whole facility (station, depot etc.) it refers to. Topographical Spot Levels The nature of the spot level is provided in Table 6, using the following abbreviations:

AS: ‘Road Asphalt’ AS+CS: ‘Bottom of Road Kerb Stone’ AS+JB: ‘Bottom of Jersey Barrier, on Asphalt Level’ MY: ‘Road Marking Lane Line Yellow’ NGL: ‘Natural Ground Level’ Interpreting the Flood Depth Maps in Table 6 The following legend should be used to interpret the flood map extracts shown in the last column of Table 6, and refers to the indicative depth of flooding.

8 Design Centre Responsibilities

The Design Centres are responsible for the final designs, and that appropriate and adequate flood protection measures are incorporated into the final designs. The recommended design flood levels provided in Table 6 is a guide only, and Design Centres should use all the tools available to ensure that critical and vulnerable infrastructure is adequately raised or protected against flooding. Given the varying nature of the terrain in many places, one single recommended design flood level (as provided in Table 6) may not be adequate for large facilities such as depots. As such the GIS model output files should be superimposed onto the relevant design, and design flood levels estimated at all locations that have the potential to allow flood water ingress. Freeboard allowances, in accordance with Table 6 should be applied to account for uncertainty.

9 Flood Assessment Assumptions and Limitations

The effects of any local drainage infrastructure have been ignored in the flood modelling.

Where underpasses are concerned, the modelling has been carried out on the assumption that the installed pumping infrastructure serving the underpass does not contribute to the evacuation of water entering the underpasses.

The metro stations, access shafts and TBM launch pits were all assessed as being

designed to exclude flood water. In this manner, it is possible to determine from the model the flood level against which these items should be designed.

(NG in low

spot on site)

0.79 580.52 581.31 0.25 0.15 0.4 581.7 0.11 Significant

Flood depths across the site range from 0.1m to 0.45m, with one area in the south-east experiencing depths of 0.88m. It is considered that re-profiling of the land levels will eliminate local ponding to these depths, although the potential effect of altering the flood and flow characteristics on third party land should be considered by the Design Centre. The ‘significant’ flood hazard only refers to the low spot, general the hazard across the site is ‘low’.

L1 Secondary

Depot – North

(NGL in northern

section of site)

0.96 657.26 658.22 0.25 0.15 0.4 658.6 0.6 Significant

The depot is located in the path of a significant overland flow route which drains the land to the north and NE of the depot, originating from flow collecting on King Abdulaziz Rd. Water flows overland until it reaches the interchange between Prince Salman Rd and King Fahd Rd. A secondary, smaller flow route enters the depot site from the east, and discharging into the major flow route from the north. Flood depths within the site vary significantly. Flood depths along the major flow route from the north are between 0.8m and 1.2m, whilst outside of this flow route the depths are generally <0.3m. If works are undertaken to raise the site in order to remove the risk associated with the flow route from the north, diversion of the overland flow route will be required, and the potential impacts on third parties will need to be assessed by the Design Centre. Along this flow route the peak flow rate is 17.75m3/s

Line 2 East Depot

(NGL

between raised tracks)

0.55 578.81 579.36 0.25 0.15 0.4 579.8 0.05 Significant

Part of the site is covered by construction waste that has been dumped on the open land, whilst part of the site is currently subdivided with constructed roads ~0.75m above existing land levels. The current flood risk to this location arises from two sources: flow along the historical bed of Wadi Sulay which passes through along the eastern edge of the site and overland flow from the urban areas to the west and NW. Please refer to page 52 of the BH report for more detailed information.

(AS+CS, centre of

<0.01 634.31 634.32 0.35 0.15 0.5 634.8 0.1 Low

Despite its low flood hazard a freeboard allowance higher that what’s stated in Table 5 is recommended due to this piece of infrastructure being a tunnel portal; to cater for localised runoff or unexpected incidents such as burst water mains. The modelling shows the depths on Olaya Street at this location generally <0.1m. North of the portal location are a number of underpasses underneath the Northern Ring Road and its branch roads. The flood depths in these underpasses are up to 4.6m, which may flood the track and prevent operation of the metro. This needs to be taken into account during the finalisation of the vertical alignment of the metro tracks through this section of the city.

Further, more detailed flood assessment work may be required for the 2B1 location, which is located in a historic Wadi-valley, and affected by overland flow from the north. The effects of pumps and the drainage network were not considered in the flood assessment, potentially resulting in a conservative design flood level estimate. It is understood that the current design level is ~612.68m (~2m below the recommended design level).

To the east of the portal, the flood depth within the underpass is estimated at 4.9m. Providing that the track at this location is adequately protected then water will not be able to flow from Station 2C1 towards the portal and into the deep underground station. Track drainage will be required to deal with any local runoff generated in the immediate vicinity of the portal, and the section of the track sloping towards the portal.

Despite its low flood hazard a freeboard allowance slightly higher that what’s stated in Table 5 is recommended due to this piece of infrastructure being underground; to cater for localised runoff or unexpected incidents such as burst water mains. The model results for the area around the perimeter of the TBM launch pit range from 0.1m to 0.17m, with velocities between 0.11m/s and 0.23m/s. Despite this low hazard, the excavation for the TBM will act as a sink for water if water is allowed to enter the site and the excavation as well as providing a route for water to enter the constructed tunnel. It is likely that flood water, laden with sediment and trash could severely affect the operation of the TBM.
