1 Track Maintenance within an effective Asset Management Strategy Tailor Made proposal for UIC Middle East Region Gerard Dalton, Director, Infrastructure Department Presented by George Barbu

2 The potential exists to migrate towards Regional maintenance systems using a common resource base for the Middle East Region. Such an approach could include common procurement, shared use of track maintenance and recording machines and internet-based planning features. To assess the feasibility of such an approach it is worthwhile examining current best practices in Asset Management and establish the extent to which the railways in the region wish to develop this proposal. Presentation to Regional Assembly Middle East 14 th October 2008, Istanbul 2

3 An effective Asset Management Strategy needs to have regard to the following: Registering of Assets Inspection / Measurement / Monitoring Track Quality Improvement possibilities Bridges & Structures Maintenance (and other fixed infrastructure) Benchmarking existing practices against best-in-class Proposal Two day interaction workshop can be organised to clearly define the scope of the RAME needs in each of these areas through an exchange of experience between UIC HQ staff, UIC Project Managers and RAME experts. Presentation to Regional Assembly Middle East 14 th October 2008, Istanbul 3

4 Suggested Content of Workshop: Day 1 Recording of Assets Asset Management Strategy (harmonised RAMS targets) Asset Management Software Tools Locating Assets Railway Geodesy Inspection / Measurement / Monitoring Inspection frequency Measurement and Tolerance limits Monitoring equipment ( trackside and on-board) Track Quality Improvement Tamping and Grinding Optimum Track Geometry Durability Under Sleeper Pads Under Ballast Mats Use of Improved Rail Grades Formation & Embankment stability Presentation to Regional Assembly Middle East 14 th October 2008, Istanbul 4

5 Suggest Content of Workshop: Day 2 Bridges & Structures Masonry Arch Bridges ( Inspection, Assessment, Rehabilitation, Strengthening) Steel & Cast Iron Bridges ( Inspection, Assessment, Rehabilitation, Strengthening) Benchmarking Network definition and Line classification Harmonisation of data 360 degree assessment : RAMS Reliability (Asset Quality indicators) Availability (Performance indicators) Maintenance (Cost indicators) Safety ( Incidence of significant accidents related to track) Agreement on future Scope of work for Middle East Region Participating Railways and Experts Expectations, Budget and Timescale Presentation to Regional Assembly Middle East 14 th October 2008, Istanbul 5

6 Summary A two day workshop can be arranged in UIC HQ,Paris or at a location within the Middle East Region in A provisional budget of 50,000 Euros should be considered to include for: Expert preparation of all UIC material (UIC and European Members experts costs RAME members cost not included). Sourcing and engagement of industry experts in some fields. Course preparation, extranet workspace and invitations. Logistics (rooms, coffee, lunches, dinner) and printed material. Travel and hotel accommodation of speakers. Development of benchmarking tools required strong commitment to record information in an uniform manner and to share information with benchmarking group. The scope and success of any project in the Asset Management field will be highly dependant on these factors. Accordingly, it is appropriate to first establish the real needs and commitment of RAME members at an interaction workshop. Presentation to Regional Assembly Middle East 14 th October 2008, Istanbul 6
