Project Scope, Successes


    PRE developed signal design plans for all locations with proposed Build of Material list. Two locations that do not have record of cad plans, PRE utilized pertinent field scans and/or photos to redraw those locations. PRE performed warning time and battery calculations for sufficient approach distance and proper standby battery. PRE’s QA process was implemented on all locations to provide complete detail reviews of all circuits affected by the design. In addition, functionally review will ensure the newly designed equipment will function and interface with the existing railroad infrastructure. Once the project is complete PRE-will as-build the “AS IN-SERVICE” plans and/or field redlines provided by the construction team.
