Railway Concept Development and Planning
LansGD Engineering Consultants will support governments and railway authorities to develop or review railway concepts in the following ways:
- Review of existing railway alignment for feasibility or
- Based on mass transportation or freight movement needs, develop potential alignment routes
- Produce route schematics and commission aerial and geotechnical surveys
- Undertake passenger demand modelling based on existing data from other transportation modes
- Propose and explore different implementation and funding models
- Develop top level operational railway features and strategic requirements
- Commence discussion about appropriate Railway Regulatory framework
Railway Optioneering and Analyses
LansGD Engineering Consultants will support Railway Authorities or Sponsors to develop the alignment options:
- Further development of potential railway alignment and nodes (stations, depots, sidings, etc.) based on analyses and initial survey results
- Develop high level requirements for the strategic railway civil features and functions (bridges, cuttings, tunnels, embankments, etc) based on survey results
- Develop railway concept of operations
- Propose delivery timescales and potential capital costs of the major elements
- Specify at high level railway systems requirements to service structural features and railway operational concept
Railway Specification and Designs
LansGD Engineering Consultants will support Railway Sponsors, Client Engineer or Railway Development Sponsors to develop:
- High level requirements to specific systems and structures for the preferred railway alignment and functions
- Develop performance, protective and functional requirements for the overall railway
- Apportionment of railway level requirements to structures, railway systems, protective features and functions
- Develop or procure outline Designs for the structures, protective features and systems
- Develop technical and performance case for the designs
- Procure Detailed Designs based on outline designs and assure compliance of detailed designs to requirements and relevant outline designs
- Ensure apportioned requirements can integrate back to railway level requirements - Integration Planning
- Procurement of Construction, Installation and fitment contracts
Construction, Installation and Implementation
LansGD Engineering Consultants will support Railway Development Authority, Sponsors or Design and Build Contractor to manage construction, installation and implementation in the following ways:
- Supervise construction and installation activities to ensure the build is compliant with input requirements
- Ensure sufficient evidence is gathered to demonstrate or validate requirements satisfaction claims.
- Witness construction installation inspections and tests
- Manage non-compliance and derogation applications
- Monitor change control actions and participate in change impact assessments.
- Identify and plan for 3rd party and regulatory acceptance.
Civil Completion and MEP Test/Commissioning and Acceptance
LansGD Engineering consultants will support the Design and Build Contractor to demonstrate:
- Civil validation to design specifications and other requirements
- MEP systems validation to specifications and other performance, protective and security requirements
- Engage will 3rd party independent assurers to satisfy independent acceptance remit and criteria
- Achieve regulatory authority acceptance and where necessary draft material (such as safety or performance cases) to gain necessary acceptance.
Integration Test and Acceptance
LansGD Engineering Consultants will support the Railway sponsors to integrate the railway and ensure high-level requirements have been satisfied.
- Full supervision of test plans and testing of integrated systems e.g., stations, track to train, etc.
- Integrated Systems Validation to Analysis, review of evidences
- Support activities to commence Railway trial operation
- Failures logging during trial operation and monitoring corrective actions for effectiveness.
- Implementation and management of a Failure Reporting, Analyses and Corrective Action System.
Railway Monitored Operation
LansGD Engineering consultants will support the railway operator to ensure:
- All failures that arise during operation are correctly logged and root causes are analysed.
- Product failure analyses reports to substantiate claims of achievement of performance requirements.
- Failures analyses to eradicate failures and feed back into design
- Development of asset failure prediction systems again to eliminate common failures and improve performance.
