Client: Transport for NSW, Rail Program Delivery (RPD)
Location: Mascot, NSW
Value: Potential project capital cost at $3b
Roles: Business model preparation, Delivery Strategy development and implementation, Project Lead, Service Planning

The initial stage of the engagement involved the preparation of services briefs on behalf of the TfNSW Program Manager and support with the assessment of the resulting tender submissions. With the Rail Service Planning Team resources engaged, InfraSol provided management and leadership to a multidisciplinary team of contractors comprising:

  • transport planners;

  • transport demand modelers;

  • rail service planners;

  • customer analysts;

  • a visualisation specialist; and

  • RailSys modelers

to deliver TfNSW-specified technical outputs to support the preparation of the SBC document. 

InfraSol worked with the TfNSW Scheduler and Program Manager to develop a cost and resource-loaded program schedule, with particular focus on the rail service planning elements of the work breakdown structure (WBS). The service planning team resources were then deployed and their workload prioritised in-line with the schedule; schedule issues were discussed and resolved with the TfNSW Program Manager.
An ongoing aspect of the engagement saw InfraSol working closely with the TfNSW Program Manager to identify and develop the program business requirements and program objectives, and subsequently shape and develop the range of options to be assessed through the SBC process. This work fed-through into the preparation of various Program Board and Program PCG meeting papers.
An integral part of the Program’s management team, actively contributing to the weekly team meetings and decision-making processes, InfraSol also ensured that a strong and effective interface was maintained between the service planning and Rail Technical Advisor teams, noting the interdependency between service planning, and infrastructure requirements and performance.
