Description
This procurement is to deliver the Operational Property visual and detailed examination programme throughout Central Route and West Coast Mainline South Route for the remainder of Control Period 7, in accordance with the requirements of NR/L2/CIV/171 and NR/L3/CIV/006. The requirements for Operational Property assets are to mitigate the risk of functional failure of a Buildings asset which may result in health, safety, environmental or operational incidents. The top risks identified in operational property are due to failure of assets leading to: • Loss of safe environment; including objects falling from height and Mechanical & Electrical infrastructure failures • Slips, trips and falls at building assets • Train collision The output of the examinations will be used to derive the future budgets through scoping of planned preventative maintenance works to demonstrate examination compliance with the Office of Rail and Road (ORR).
