    Iarnród Éireann (IÉ) invites applications from suitably qualified companies to participate

    in the Pre-Qualification process for the proposed tender for the development,

    implementation and placement of technological systems for real time remote monitoring

    of a range of railway infrastructure assets and conditions. The objective is to provide

    suitable remote monitoring systems across a range of asset types and conditions that

    will facilitate immediate interventions should the asset be compromised and/or allow

    informed decision making based on measured condition changes that may adversely

    affect the asset base.

    The assets and conditions that may typically require application of remote monitoring

    technologies include cutting and embankment failures/slips, bridge strike and structural

    failure of assets and wind, temperature and flood condition monitoring.

    The remote asset and condition monitoring systems will allow centralised data collection

    and reporting capabilities using best industry practice and technology for such data

    management systems.

    Pre-qualification questionnaires will be assessed and qualified candidates will be invited

    to meet individually with IE to discuss their systems. Following these meetings IE will issue an invitation to tender.

    The System shall be provided to IE in two phases:

    (a) Phase 1 where the System and all

    of its component parts is to be supplied by the Contractor and tested at the various Test

    Sites and at the National Monitoring Centre ( NMC) and are subject to Final Acceptance

    and connectivity to the NMC in a “go-live“ scenario.

    (b) Phase 2 ,subject to IE decision in

    its absolute discretion to proceed with Phase 2 shall consist of the supply, installation

    and implementation and maintenance of the System for IE in each of the Monitoring

    Categories and connectivity to the NMC in a “go-live“ scenario.
