After a competitive tendering process, RT Infrastructure Solutions is delighted to announce a successful project win for key signalling works directly with TFL.
The scope of works requires numerous Axle Counter EAK’s at Surrey Quays Station to be relocated clear of the new platform area, in order to facilitate future maintenance being safer and more practicable for TFL signalling personnel. The EAK’s are currently located below the new platform extension, and to move the EAK’s beyond the new platform extension whilst retaining the detection point in its current position, it will be necessary to incorporate Rail Contact Adaptors in line between the EAK and the SK30H.
As part of the works, the following standards will be adhered to, with the RTIS management team ensuring compliance at all times;
- NR/L2/SIG/11752/Part D – Train Detection Handbook Part D – Axle Counter Configuration Parameters
- NR/L2/SIG/11201 Signalling Design Handbook Modules A1-1 to Mod A2-8 and Mod A2-10 to A2-23, A4-3, A4-11, B1 to B4.
- 3CR 31075 AAAA 583QQ – Rail Contact Adaptor Installation Guide – AzLM
- NR/L3/SIG/11303 Signalling Installation
- NR/L2/SIG/30014/A110 – Signalling Works Testing
- NR/L2/RSE/02009 for CEM, Civils CRE Design and Construction, and Signalling CRE Design and Construction.
RT Infrastructure Solutions will be responsible for the completion of the design, installation, testing and commissioning of all activities to support the relocation of the EAK’s and associated devices. This will include all the associated civils works, surveys and the procurement of all associated materials. A more in-depth scope breakdown will include the following deliverables:
*Production of an SDS lite in line with NR/L2/SIG/11201 mod A1-3 section 9 and issue for acceptance.
*Production of the SDS and wheel detection point position record with AIP sign off from the signalling RAM.
*Issue of Form 001 with the SDS and siting form once both documents have been accepted by the signalling project engineer.
*Upon the AIP being achieved, the design will produce a red/green detailed wiring design for the altered axle counter arrangements. The detailed design will be issued for acceptance and once accepted by the Signalling Project Engineer, the designs will be AFC’d and issued for construction and test.
*Signalling Design will produce and issue commissioning copies and a closure list to test.
*In addition to the above signalling design deliverables a combined form A/B is to be produced for civils works, which will cover the fixing details for the EAK’s, RCA’s and any cable containment alterations if requirement.
*A combined IDC/IDR is to be carried for the above deigns prior to issuing for acceptance.
*All signalling installation work will be carried out in accordance with the Signalling Installation Standard NR/L3/SIG/11303 and the Rail Contact Adaptor Installation Guide referenced above.
*Procurement of all new Axle Counter Equipment and associated cabling.
*A combined MTP and T&C plan is to be produced for the work with testing to be carried out in accordance with NR/L2/SIG/30014/A110.
*The production and update of signalling records to reflect any as-built alterations from the commissioning copy and return records to LO records Custodian following a TGIC by the Signalling Project Engineer.
*The production of Red Line the civils drawings where required and return As-built Civils drawings.
*RT Infrastructure Solutions will undertake the CDM duties required, including the Principal Contractor and Principal Designer roles.
*Production of a H&S File DDM checklist to agree the contents of the H&S File with TfL
*The issue of a H&S file, to TfL containing evidence agreed within the DDM checklist.
Discussing the contract award, RT-IS Managing Director Andy Thorpe said:
“RT Infrastructure Solutions is proud to contribute to the vital signalling works at Surrey Quays Station. Our commitment to providing high-quality signalling & civils elements for TFL, underscores our dedication to ensuring the safety and efficiency of this important rail infrastructure upgrade.”
