Target Asset Life Extension / Value for Money

Explain the link between a problem statement and Target Asset Life Extension/Value for Money

This will need checking to see if this flows and is relevant. We agreed that this session will include the presentation of the problem statements and case studies as part of day 1 homework.

This is similar to the tasks listed in 5. Problem Statement but it was discussed that there needs an understanding of the link between a problem statement and the Target Asset Life Extension/Value for Money, the content map will need to highlight this and describe the correlation between the two.


There was also a discussion that the flow chart maybe needed an extra stand alone box for the problem statement?

Problem Statement

List information is required to make an informed decision
Produce a problem statement
  1. There was a lot of discussion around this task, it was still unclear of who actually attends the course and was decided it would be passed onto CDG for final decision.
  2. There was a request for the problem statement to outline the differences between an outline and detailed problem statement, so to create two separate boxes.
  3. There should be a focus on identifying the difference between the two and the process for creating each of these.
  4. The learners should create both on the course.
  5. There was also discussion around who actually creates the problem statement and awareness of the roles and responsibilities and how it moves forward ( as highlighted above). A comment was made that the people closest to the problem, creates it.
  6. It was decided that currently, this course is needed 2 to 3 times a year depending on demand.
  7. We will need to add a S&C problem statement to the resources.
Develop and outline a problem statement following standards to identify root causes, reduce asset-related risks, and improve asset reliability and availability

0.1 General


A specification shall be prepared and recorded in project documentation by the Asset Manager or nominated delegate. The work outlined in the specification shall be aligned to the target asset life extension and success criteria. The specification shall include the following items as a minimum: a) general information (point number, location, ELR, track ID, mileage, target and delivery year); b) layout information (type, profile, speed, turnout direction); c) switch information (type, rail depth, steel grade, toe opening, out of square measurement); d) crossing information where scoped for refurbishment (angle, fabrication, steel grade, check rail type); e) description of work, including tolerance requirements and any impact on POE; f) ballast treatment where scoped for refurbishment (extent, crossfall grade and direction); g) handback and follow up requirements ; h) success criteria ; i) non-compliances/derogations (standard, clause, reason for non-compliance, acceptance criteria, supported by); and j) author/reviewer/approver/accepted by. TEF3255 (Part B) or regional variation may be used to record the specification. A list of potential refurbishment activities is provided in B.2. Consideration should be given to the re-use and recycling of S&C assets (see NR/L2/TRK/063). Where existing non-compliant conditions have been identified, or the planned work will result in non-compliant conditions, the Delivery Organisation shall agree these with the Asset Manager or nominated delegate as part of the development process, supported with a track temporary variation or derogation. Other discipline Asset Managers should review their plans to identify opportunities to update their assets. These opportunities should be evaluated and exploited as part of the refurbishment works where appropriate to maximise efficiency.
