Procedure 8010-000-010 - Procedure - Asset Readiness

1. Introduction
This procedure describes the Public Transport Authority (PTA) process in achieving Asset
Readiness from concept design through to delivery of the project.
Asset readiness is a critical part of a PTA project being delivered on our behalf, through
engagement and effective consultation with PTA internal and external stakeholders to
ensure there is clear visibility of safety related application conditions (SRAC), hazards and
human factors, via the Safety in Design (SID) workshops.

1.1 Document Purpose


This procedure describes the reason for collaborative project and stakeholder consultation,
through each stage of the design to Issue for Construction (IFC). This will allow the PTA to
review and update procedures, work instructions and processes to simplify the transfer of
SRACs and hazards.
In the event of new or novel assets going through Type Approval, this will allow the
stakeholders to be involved early in the design which will improve the input to human factors
identified in both the physical and technical environment. Refer to PTA Document: 8110-
100-021 – Procedure – Management of Product or System Approval.

1.2 Audience and Applicability


Asset readiness, through the project lifecycle, is a critical process for PTA, as it allows all
internal (employees) and external stakeholders (e.g. DFES, other Accredited Rail Interfaces
(ARC) and Main Roads WA), designers, vendors, and the project/Alliance to collaborate
through consultation during the SID process.
Subject matter experts (SME), or designated delegates, shall attend SID in preparation for
asset readiness. The Alliance or project and their designer will form the quorum, with a
minimum of two PTA SMEs, or designated delegates, to form a Safety in Design workshop.
Some points to consider:
a. This procedure is a part of 8110-100-013 – Procedure – Engineering Management for
Projects (EM4P);
b. This procedure is applicable to branch management SMEs, Project Managers,
Discipline Leads, Designers, Vendors, Manufacturers, Construction and Delivery
Managers; and
c. Understanding of EM4P and Works Readiness, Risk Management, Hazard/SRAC
control and MoEC processes. Refer to PTA Documents: 8910-100-001 – Procedure –
Disruptive Access Works Readiness, 9502-000-001 – Risk Management Policy, 8810-
000-008 – Procedure – Project Hazard Transfer, 8830-000-021 – Form – Project

Operational Readiness T-20 T-0 Driver Training

Train Operations and Maintenance

Figure 1: Asset Readiness Process Overview

2.1 Work Readiness and Operational Readiness Interface


Asset readiness includes Works Readiness and Operational Readiness activities which
support EIS and Final Asset Acceptance (FAA) activities for a safe and reliable transition
from project to operations domain.
PTA drives works readiness through the Service Disruption Planning and Approval Group
(SDPAG). The SDPAG is made up of the key internal stakeholders N&I, PTA Project
Delivery (PPD), Transwa, Transperth Train Operations and Transperth Regional & School
Bus Services (TRSBS).
The SDPAG is the disruptive rail access decision making process for the delivery of all
projects and Major Periodic Maintenance (MPM) on PTA assets. Once the access has been
granted, the project produces 8930-100-001 – Checklist – Disruptive Access Works
Readiness at T-40. At this point, the key internal and external stakeholders attend the SID
workshops, through the consultation process.
The operational readiness planning runs parallel to the works readiness as two groups until
T-20 when joint participation meetings on Operational Readiness Planning are attended by
N&I nominated representatives to consult on T-12 Works Readiness delivery phase. At T-12

Procedure 8010-000-010 - Procedure - Asset Readiness

Testing & Commissioning planning, Entry into Service and driver training, maintenance
training, station training and Emergency Management Plan requirements are in final
preparation. Refer to PTA Documents: 8860-100-001 – Template – Operational Readiness
Plan, 8860-100-002 – Template – Entry into Service and Final Asset Acceptance Strategy
and 8830-000-001 – Form – Entry into Service Certificate.
Stage gate T-6 Branch Managers N&I, TTO, TRSBS, Transwa and TTO hold SRAC and
hazard transfer meetings with the project, and update processes and procedures, risk
assessments and sign-off.
The N&I Asset Management Infrastructure Operations (AMIO) branch updates the physical
safety environmental changes to PTA Document: 8800-400-001 – Rail Access Manual
(RAM) and N&I Safety and TTO Safety finalise the safe access to track, yards, sidings,
depots and facilities through Safety Alerts, or the updating of safety processes and
procedures, post completion of risk assessments, through consultation with end users.
At T – 0 post driver training, and practical completion, outstanding defects are placed on the
project punch list and resolved by the project, this punch list is shared with the relevant
discipline in PTA to remove ambiguity. Refer to PTA Document: 8830-400-004 – Form –
Project Defect List.

2.2 Purpose of Asset Readiness Process


Adherence to this procedure will continuously improve the EIS of assets at Practical
Completion (PC). The quality of information through the asset readiness process, and the
documented evidence that demonstrates effective consultation and a collaborative approach
to control hazards and Safety Related Application Conditions (SRACs) results in:
 Safe access and egress to tracks and assets for maintainers and end users;
 Effective reviews and updating, or development of new Work Instructions, procedures,
or processes;
 Improved asset reliability and performance;
 Equipment and asset registers updated in Ellipse prior to EIS; and
 Accurate consultation with maintainers and end users.

2.3 Scope of Application


Asset readiness covers all projects delivered under 8110-100-013 – Procedure –
Engineering Management for Projects (EM4P).

Procedure 8010-000-010 - Procedure - Asset Readiness

3.2 Development and Validation

3.2.1 Initial Development

Works readiness is developed by N&I AMIO on behalf of the SDPAG. The SDPAG sits
weekly to approve project requests for service disruption planning to permit access to assets
based on how ready the project is using the stage gates on the checklist. The final validation
and close out of the Works Readiness Checklist is the responsibility of AMIO.

3.2.2 Review and Ongoing Validation

The review and ongoing development and validation of this procedure is the responsibility of
the N&I Engineering Manager.

3.3 Modification
Modification of the application of this procedure shall be at the request of the N&I
Engineering Manager.

4. Asset Readiness Review


Asset readiness is tracked through works readiness. If the design has been Issued for
Construction (IFC), the preparation of Equipment Registers at T-6 shall be prepared for
transfer to the N&I AMIO branch. Refer to PTA Documents: 8560-000-023 – Equipment
Information Handover Template – EGI and 8560-000-024 – Equipment Information
Handover Template – Equipment.
If progressive assurance is in place, through works readiness the review is held pre-EIS and
at EIS sign-off; any changes made during the construction shall be accompanied by a Field
Change Request (FCR), signed by the Coordinating Project Engineer (CPE). The impact of
the FCR shall be assessed by the EIS representative to determine if a safety, maintenance
alert or other mitigation is to be implemented or issued for the ongoing maintainability of the
assets prior to return to operation. Refer to PTA Document: 8830-000-022 – Form – Field
Change Request.
In the event of greenfield projects requesting only one EIS return to operation, the N&I
Engineering Manager shall implement an audit of Equipment Registers to correlate the
accuracy and safety of the assets being ready for the ongoing maintenance and operations.

4.1 Preparation and Notification


A Works Readiness Checklist shall be generated by each Delivery Manager for each work
package and updated prior to reaching each T-Minus Review Gate (as listed in Table 3).
