Submission and Approvals


The Design Delivery Team shall prepare the design submission in accordance with the responsibilities of the
Designer as listed in clause 1.2 above.
The Design Delivery Team shall perform a detailed check of the design submission in accordance with the
responsibilities of the Detailed Checker/Verifier as listed in clause 1.2 above.
Before the design submission is submitted to the Aurizon Signal Design Manager, the Design Delivery Team
shall ensure that the initials of the Designer and Detailed Checker/Verifier and date are correctly recorded on
the title block of the drawing, on a Data Approval Form or in a similar applicable place dependent on the nature
of the design submission item. The Design Delivery Team shall establish and operate a documented procedure
to ensure the veracity of electronic signatures placed in documents/drawings.
Submissions shall not be made until the design item has had a Detailed Check/Verification and the appropriate
initials and date recorded on the design submission item or Data Approval Form.
The Design Delivery Team shall submit 2 white copies of the design submission and one copy of all associated
electronic files and a Data Approval Form (where applicable) to the Aurizon Signal Design Manager for
Approval.
If equipment layout and types are suitable, “Approved for Construction” status will be granted to enable
procurement and mechanical construction. The Design Delivery Team will be advised in writing.
If the design submission does not achieve “Approved In Principle” status (as defined in clause 0 below), one
white copy will be stamped “Not Approved” and returned to the Design Delivery Team with explanatory notes
as to where the design is inadequate. A copy of the Data Approval Form (where applicable) will also be
returned to the Design Delivery Team. The other paper copy, the Data Approval Form (where applicable) and
the electronic files will be retained by the Aurizon Signal Design Manager for records purposes. The Design
Delivery Team shall then rework and resubmit the design submission item.
If the design submission achieves “Approved In Principle” status (as defined in clause 0 below), the Aurizon
Signal Design Manager will sign the “Approved In Principle” box located in the left hand border of the sheet for
both white copies and stamp the Data Approval Form (where applicable) “Approved In Principle”, return one
of these copies plus a copy of the Data Approval Form (where applicable) to the Design Delivery Team for the
Design Delivery Team’s records and retain the other copy and the original of the Data Approval Form (where
applicable) for the Aurizon Signal Design Manager’s records.
If the Aurizon Signal Design Manager finds a statistically significant number of errors in a design submission
(see clause 1.4 on recording of error metrics) the Aurizon Signal Design Manager will suspend the approval of
that item (i.e. not complete the process) and return the submission to the Design Delivery Team with
explanatory notes as to what has caused the suspension of the approval. The Design Delivery Team shall
then rework and revise the whole of the design correcting any and all errors and omissions and resubmit the
item for approval.
Data files for processor based equipment will be granted approval (or otherwise) for the entire version of the
data. Drawings will be granted approval (or otherwise) for each sheet. It is therefore possible that not all sheets
in a submission of drawings (e.g. for a location, hut or SER) will achieve “Approved in Principle” status. Where
this is the case the Aurizon Signal Design Manager will clearly indicate which drawing sheets have not
achieved “Approved In Principle” status by stamping these sheets “Not Approved”.

Production of Bell Test Copies (Green)


Once an entire design submission has achieved “Approved In Principle” status (e.g. all sheets in a set of
drawings for a location, hut or SER etc.), the Design Delivery Team shall produce two photocopies of the entire
Approved in Principle design submission item, one on white paper and stamped “Copy of Bell Test Copy”, and
the other on green paper stamped “Bell Test Copy”.
The Aurizon Signal Design Manager will approve the “Certificate for Bell Testing”, in the form of EM.F.1360,
submitted by the Design Delivery Team. The Design Delivery Team is responsible for ensuring that the sheets
included in the white and green copies match the details on the “Certificate for Bell Testing”. The Design
Delivery Team shall attach the “Certificate for Bell Testing” to the green “Bell Test Copy” book. The Design
Delivery Team shall submit the white “Copy of Bell Test Copy”, with a copy of the “Certificate for Bell testing”
attached, to the Aurizon Signal Design Manager and the Aurizon Signal Design Manager will retain this copy
for records purposes.
Once Green Bell Test copies have been produced, all modifications to the item shall be done only using the
Aurizon Signal Design Manager’s “Circuit/Data Modification Sheet” and not on any other item or drawing. The

Aurizon Signal Design Manager will issue a set of “Circuit/Data Modification Sheets” to the Design Delivery
Team for this purpose.
Green Bell Test copies shall be produced for all new drawings.
Bell Testing shall not be carried out until the Bell Test copy drawings have the “Certificate for Bell Testing”
attached. The Circuit/Data Modification Sheets arising from the Bell Test shall be returned to the Aurizon Signal
Design Manager within 5 working days after completion of the Bell Test.
The Bell Test Copy shall be maintained on site until the completion of the bell testing and then returned to the
Design Delivery Team’s Design office within 5 working days of completion of bell testing. The Bell Test copies
shall be available for inspection by the Aurizon Signal Design Manager at all times.

Production of Function Test Submission Copies (White)


If all the design submission items for a station have achieved “Approved In Principle” status and bell testing is
complete as far as possible, the Design Delivery Team may produce the Function Test Submission and not
before.
The Function Test Submission shall be produced by the Design Delivery Team and incorporate all
modifications as per approved “Circuit/Data Modification Sheets”. The Design Delivery Team shall submit 2
white copies of the Function Test submission stamped “Function Test Submission”, one copy of any associated
electronic files and a Data Approval Form (where appropriate) for Design Integration checking by the Aurizon
Signal Design Manager. The green Bell Test Copy shall also be submitted along with copies of all approved
Mod sheets. All modifications from the Approved in Principle version shall be highlighted in green on the
Function Test Copy submission.
The purpose of Design Integration checking is to establish whether the various elements of the Design Delivery
Team’s total design (e.g. PBI data, SER circuitry, cable core plans, location case circuitry, telemetry bit
allocations etc.) are consistent with each other, and that any functionality which is split across more than one
such element is safely and accurately implemented.
If the Design Integration Check is not successful, one copy of the Function Test submission and Data Approval
Form (where applicable) will be stamped “Not Approved” and returned to the Design Delivery Team with
explanatory notes as to where the design is inadequate. The green Bell Test Copy and mod sheets will also
be returned to the Design Delivery Team. The Aurizon Signal Design Manager will retain the other copy for
records purposes.
The Design Delivery Team shall then raise Circuit/Data Modification sheets to correct any actual deficiencies
in the physical implementation. The Design Delivery Team shall subsequently update and resubmit the
Function Test Submission as described above.
If the Design Integration Check is successful, the Aurizon Signal Design Manager will initial the “Passed” and
“Approved” boxes on the title block of the white master drawing, Data Approval Form (where applicable) or in
a similar applicable place dependent on the nature of the design submission item. The Aurizon Signal Design
Manager will return the initialled master drawing (or Data Approval form) to the Design Delivery Team within 5
working days of receipt of the Function Test Submission. The Aurizon Signal Design Manager will retain the
second copy of the Function Test submission and the updated mod sheets.
The following diagram gives an example (location case circuits) of the progression of approvals with system
design integration:

Stagework Design
TERM DEFINITION

The controlled progression over time of a project from


the original configuration to the final configuration.
(There may be 0 to n of these stages). Each stage is
Stage(s)
functionally different from the original or final
configuration, is commissioned separately and runs
traffic for a period of time.

Stagework is that work which alters the system from


Stagework
one stage to the next.

Those items of signalling design which represent the


necessary configuration of the signalling system to
achieve a stage of a signalling project.
Stagework drawings/data
They will show explicitly the alterations to be made to
the signalling (circuits, data, cabling, etc.) to achieve
the necessary alterations.

Any requirements for staging of the project will be specified in the works definition document.
Unless otherwise specified, the Design Delivery Team shall prepare all necessary stagework drawings/data
for each stage indicated in the works definition document. All stagework drawings/data shall be submitted for
approval in accordance with the Design Approval Process described in clause 1.4.
Each stagework drawing/data shall be identified with the stage to which it applies. (e.g. stage 1, stage 2 etc.)
Each stagework drawing shall have new/additional items wiring etc. marked or drawn in accordance with
S.07.4211.02 Drawing Mark-ups.
Stagework drawings/data shall pertain only to the progression from one stage to another unless written
authorisation is obtained from the Aurizon Signal Design Manager (i.e. multiple stages shall not be shown on
drawings/data).
Commissioning Copies shall be produced, updated and distributed for each stage (see clause 1.4.5), but AS-
Built copies of intermediate stages are not required.
After each commissioning, the Design Delivery Team shall update the design baseline to correctly reflect the
As-Commissioned status of the signalling system configuration. This new design baseline shall be used as the
baseline for representing the stagework drawings/data for the next stage and shall be shown in black.
