Rail Corporation New South Wales
Rolling Stock PPP – Double Deck Trains
Maintenance Facility Works Specification
Exhibit 7 - MFS v7.doc
The design of the Site Trackwork must be consistent with the Track Schematic and include
the catchpoints indicated. PPP Co must ensure that its design for the Site Trackwork
caters for all operating conditions. .
PPP Co will be required to work with RailCorp to ensure that a clear throw off area or other
appropriate mitigation measures are adopted to minimise the damage to the Set and the
surrounding infrastructure. The Site Trackwork includes turnouts and any components
related to the interface with signalling equipment. PPP Co is to install the turnouts and
supply and install any components related to the interface with signalling equipment on the
Down Relief line shown on the Auburn Masterplan that provide access to the Maintenance
Site. RailCorp will supply three (3) tangential turnouts with associated points motors,
connecting rods, etc ‘free-supply’ to PPP Co for the connection to the Down Relief line.
The design of the Site Trackwork must incorporate suitable and clearly signposted
Handover Points and Pick-up Points denoting where Crews are expected to pick-up or
leave Sets and Other Sets respectively.
The minimum design standards for the Site Trackwork are as follows:
(j) 53 kg/m rail on medium duty concrete sleepers laid over 150 mm of standard
ballast and an appropriately engineered formation capping layer;
(k) recycled 53 kg/m rail for plain track and recycled turnouts may be used,
provided the recycled materials are in good condition and suitable for the
Design Life of the Maintenance Facility;
(l) subject to paragraphs (a) and (b), requirements for Class 1 Sidings and
RailCorp Standard TS 3101 – Standard Classification of Lines; and
(m) the Site Earthworks (including formation, etc) are to be constructed to RailCorp
standards, in particular TS 3421 – General Standards for Formation and
Earthworks, and TS 3422 – Standard for Formation Capping Material.
The Site Trackwork must incorporate the following design features:
(a) centre distance between roads must be in accordance with the Design
Guidelines for the Upgrade and Construction of New and Existing Train Stabling
Yards and Turnback Sidings and any other relevant standards as set-out in
Attachment 3; where there is a conflict between the centre distance between
roads proposed by PPP Co and the relevant Standard, during the detailed
design stage PPP Co will work with RailCorp to resolve this conflict to the
satisfaction of RailCorp.
(b) each road to be at least of sufficient length to accommodate 8-car sets
measuring 163 m long (unless noted otherwise in clause 3.1.4) plus clearances
for signalling, catchpoints and any other operational requirements including
access for Crew to prevent fouling points where required;
(c) entry or exit from the Storage Roads must not require the Sets, or the Other
Sets to travel via the Maintenance Roads;
