Design Delivery Team
The Design Delivery Team refers to different entities depending on the Project Delivery Model used. For an
Alliance Project Delivery Model, the Design Delivery Team will be the Alliance Management Team. For a
Design and Construct Contract Project Delivery Model, the Design Delivery Team will be the Contractor. For
a Aurizon Internal Project Delivery Model, the Design Delivery Team will be the Aurizon Technical Coordinator.
Project Documents
The Project Documents refer to all documents used in the Project. These may include Contracts,
Specifications; Reference the works definition document, etc.
Responsibilities
The Design Delivery Team shall be responsible for the safety, suitability and functionality of all of its designs
and documentation. Any approvals given by the Aurizon Signal Design Manager shall not relieve the Design
Delivery Team from full responsibility for mistakes or omissions therein (including any resultant mistake or
error in the Works) or for any discrepancy or deviation from the Specification and other drawings.
All designs, drawings and specifications shall be submitted to the Aurizon Signal Design Manager and written
Approval obtained before any Work covered thereby is commissioned. All such Approved designs, drawings
and specifications shall be incorporated into, and be included in the Project Documents, but, notwithstanding
such approval, the Design Delivery Team shall bear full responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of
the designs, drawings and specifications, for the safety of all portions of the Work covered thereby, and for
carrying out the Work in accordance with the Drawings and the Specification.
The following detailed responsibilities with respect to design shall apply to the works of the Project:
Designer Aurizon Personnel, To design the signalling using suitable equipment and
Contractor, Consultant in accordance with:
Legislative requirements;
Control Table;
Design Alerts;
Type Approvals.
Detailed Checker Aurizon Personnel, To completely and thoroughly check that the whole of
/ Verifier Contractor, Consultant the design meets all of the design requirements.
Passer / Certifier Aurizon Signal Design To conduct an audit of selected parts of each design
Manager’s Representative item with consideration given to complexity, difficult
design areas and areas open to interpretation.
Design Checker Aurizon Personnel, To ensure that the initials recorded on any mod sheet
(Commissioning Contractor, Consultant as authorising the modification are correctly
Modifications) transferred to the drawing.
CADD Checker Aurizon Personnel, To check that the drafting work has been completely
Contractor, Consultant and accurately done, is in accordance with the
applicable drawing and CADD standards, and
incorporates all authorised modifications as recorded
on mod sheets.
Aurizon Personnel’s, Contractor’s and Consultant’s attention is drawn to the requirements of the Professional
Engineers Act and Regulations (Queensland) and the responsibilities stated therein.
All Detailed Checkers/Verifier, Passers/Certifier and Approvers shall have RPEQ and hold a tertiary
qualification in Electrical Engineering. Should the Detailed Checker or Passer not have the required
qualifications or professional membership then the Detailed Checker or Passer must be authorised by the
nominated RPEQ to sign on behalf of the RPEQ.
All Detailed Checkers/Verifier and Passers/Certifier must be approved by the Aurizon Signal Design Manager
before commencing any design work. All Designers must be approved by the Design Delivery Team. A Skills
Register for each of the Design Delivery Team’s staff working on the Project shall be maintained by the Design
Delivery Team. The Skills Register shall be used to ensure the work is performed by only those appropriately
skilled staff. The Aurizon Signal Design Manager may approve staff without the appropriate skills to perform
the required work, to allow the staff to gain the necessary skills, but approval must be given before the work
commences.
Design Planning
Within 10 working days of the Project being handed to the Design Delivery Team, a Design Planning meeting
will be held in Brisbane to review and discuss the application of the requirements of this Part 14 to the detailed
design scope required to meet the project scope defined in the works definition document of the Project
documents.
The Aurizon Signal Design Manager or Representative(s) will call and attend the meeting. The Design Delivery
Team’s Design Manager, Lead Designer and nominated Registered Professional Engineer(s) for the Project
shall attend the meeting along with relevant members of applicable design authorities to ensure that all parties
have a clear understanding of the design scope, requirements and application of standards.
The meeting will determine the Project’s application of the design standards and example designs provided by
the Aurizon Signal Design Manager to the Design Delivery Team.
The meeting will also determine a list of Sample Designs to be provided to the Aurizon Signal Design Manager
for review.
The meeting will also determine the detailed contents of the Detailed Design Plan.
The Aurizon Signal Design Manager’s representative will minute the meeting and these minutes will be
provided to the Design Delivery Team within 5 working days of the meeting. Should the Design Delivery Team
not agree with the minutes of the meeting, then the Design Delivery Team shall advise the Aurizon Signal
Design Manager of any corrections within 5 working days of receipt of the minutes from the Aurizon Signal
Design Manager. Failure of the Design Delivery Team to advise notification of any corrections to the minutes
within the stated timescale shall constitute full and complete agreement with the minutes as recorded.
All subsequent design shall be completed in accordance with the Approved Detailed Design Plan and agreed
Sample Designs. Any changes to the Detailed Design Plan or agreed Sample Designs shall be submitted to
the Aurizon Signal Design Manager for Approval.
– Design Responsibilities;
– Interfaces;
– Version Control and type of version identifier used for each type of design item;

each file type, the version identifier shall be described and (where the version identifier caters for such) a
definition of the type of alterations which would constitute a major and minor revision update.
Sample Designs
A list of the sample design circuits/data to be submitted by the Design Delivery Team for review shall be
included. These circuits/data will be chosen and agreed jointly by the Aurizon Signal Design Manager’s
representative and the Design Delivery Team.

resolved by direct contact with the nominated Aurizon Signal Design Manager’s representative.
The Design Delivery Team shall submit all design enquiries in writing in a format shown in the example for
EM.F.1359 (Technical Query). The nominated Aurizon Signal Design Manager’s design representative will
clarify design enquiries in writing. Telephone enquiries will not be accepted unless they are confirmed in writing.
– electronic files (CADD drawings, data files for PBI or other programmable equipment etc.),
and
difference listing need to be submitted. A soft copy of the data is also required to be submitted to the Aurizon

that drawing/document.
Once commissioning has been completed and before the Design Delivery Team leaves the site, the Design
Delivery Team shall ensure that suitably updated Commissioning Copies are distributed to the places indicated
below:-
Delivery Team with explanatory notes as to where the drawing/documentation is inadequate. The Design
Delivery Team shall then rework and resubmit the drawing/documentation for audit. Any subsequent audits
will be conducted on a progressively larger sample until a satisfactory result is achieved.
If the audit is successfully completed, the Aurizon Signal Design Manager will retain the pink Function Test
copy and the green Bell Test copy.
The duration of this audit will be time limited to the period defined in the works definition document where the
time period begins once the commissioning has been completed. Failure of the Design Delivery Team to
produce complete and accurate Audit Submission before the expiration of this audit time limit shall not absolve
the Design Delivery Team from the responsibility of delivering complete and accurate As-Built drawings and
