ABSTRACT
The municipality of Amsterdam is preparing a new metro line from the North part of the town to the south, called the North/South-line. The metro line crosses the main building of Amsterdam Central Station about 15 meters below surface level. Risk analysis was used in several ways to help making rational decisions in several stages of the design. The most important requirements that had to be taken in to account, are the great number of people passing the station (daily 250.000) using 15 railroad tracks and platforms which should not be disturbed.
This paper presents an overview of the techniques for risk analysis used in several stages of the project.
