Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

In 2013 a strategy study was carried out by Iarnród Éireann to evaluate the performance of the existing Centralised Traffic Control (CTC) centre (based at Connolly Station, Dublin) and to determine an effective Staging Proposal for the development of a new integrated Centralised Traffic Control centre.

A number of limitations and deficiencies associated with the existing CTC control systems were identified. It is intended that an updated and integrated CTC will be constructed to allow Iarnród Éireann to optimise management of train movements and stations. It is Iarnród Éireann’s objective to provide for all supervision, control and regulation functions within a single and integrated CTC facility.

The new Centralised Traffic Control centre will provide for the national train control; suburban level crossing centre; network management centre (signalling, electrical and telecommunications fault identification); staff and welfare area; training room/emergency control centre; systems room, mechanical and electrical plant room and future provision will be made to allow for DART Underground control (and other potential upgrades) and a customer care centre

Iarnród Éireann requires the services of a consultant to determine the most advantageous implementation strategy and location for a new Centralised Traffic Control (CTC) Centre and to define the user requirements, prepare the specifications and tender documentation for the CTC systems.

The objectives of this project are:-

Explore implementation options and determine the appropriate contract strategy for the provision of the new Centralised Traffic Control centre building and systems.

Determine the user requirements for the new train control systems which will form part of the CTC.

Define the tender specification for new train control systems suitable for tendering to the selected implementation and contract strategies and prepare the associated tender documents.

Determine safety approval requirements and safety validation process for the development of the new Centralised Traffic Control Centre;

Review location and building options to determine the most advantageous location
