Computational 3D evacuation modelling, under various scenarios, of this partially underground train station via platforms, tunnels and stairs as part of the design development for a major redevelopment. Each simulation involved platforms and crush loaded trains with total populations in excess of 2000 persons.

As lead consultant for the Birmingham New Street Station project, AtkinsRéalis is providing a range of services that will double the passenger capacity of the station and act as a stimulus for the regeneration of surrounding areas. The project sees the £600m remodelling and refurbishment of the Birmingham New Street Station in the heart of Birmingham to create a world-class gateway to the UK’s second largest city. AtkinsRéalisRéalis’ proposed design improves connectivity to the city and public transportation and includes a dramatic new atrium bringing natural light into the centre of the concourse.
