Picton Yard Modification Works for New Australind Train

Scope of Works

Under the proposed Contract, the PTA will require the Contractor to carry out all Works for the required modifications to Picton Yard as detailed within the Design Documents and including (but not limited to) the following:

• Location markers: Provide visible fuelling road location markers to enable drivers to align each Australind railcar with the refuelling bench and AdBlue (Diesel Exhaust Fluid – DEF) point as required, as there are no existing markers to advise the stopping location of trains and the new Australind lengths and fuelling locations differ from the previous trains.

• Lavatory waste disposal: Integration of a new vacuum extraction system (Controlled Emission Toilet – CET) on the stowage road, in consultation with a CET provider, to service two stowed new Australind DMU trainsets. The scope includes providing conduit and piping from the vacuum waste plant area to four Service Module Points (SMP). The Contractor will also be responsible for installing the CET provider’s equipment, including one vacuum effluent system for two 3-car DMU train sets (six railcars) and four electronic decanting points near the train gangways. This includes all pipes, cables, and system components needed to connect the trains to the vacuum plant. The CET provider will supply guidance, instruction manuals, and the option for on-site technician visits to assist. (Note: The PTA will free issue the vacuum waste extraction system equipment for the Contractor to install.)

• Lavatory freshwater fill and rinse: Provide compatible hose nozzles for rinsing and freshwater refilling, including an additional water supply reel to service a second Australind DMU trainset, as the existing water hose post are not located to suit the new Australind DMU train stabling locations and the hoses attached do not suit the new trains.

• Galley water fill and discharge: Provide hose reels fitted with Camlock DC 100 fittings at both train fill points for the galley water supply, as the existing water hose post are not located to suit the new Australind DMU train stabling locations and the hoses attached do not suit the new trains.

• Shore supply: Provide new shore supply units aligned with receptacle points for two stowed new Australind DMU trainsets and verify that existing power supplies comply with standard three-phase specifications, due to the existing shore supply units not being compatible with the new train’s receptacles.

• Diesel Exhaust Fluid (AdBlue) replenishment system installation: Provide an AdBlue system with sufficient storage capacity, minimal integration modifications to the refuelling road and the capability to refill one railcar at a time.

• Cleaning blocks and access modifications: Supply cleaning block infrastructure in the form of platform ladders and extended wands to improve windscreen cleaning capability, and upgrade existing lighting as required, and improve maintenance access points.

• Stabling of two new Australind trainsets: Replace the existing buffer stop with a PTA standard fixed rail buffer stop or equivalent and replace associated sleepers as required. The existing 41 kg/m rail is to be maintained. The existing pathways shall be extended to services the new train lengths.

The Contractor will also be responsible for all management of the Works, obtaining approvals from relevant authorities, procurement of all plant, labour and materials unless otherwise specified, quality management and commissioning, and various other obligations as set out in the Contract documents.
