 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY OF BMRCL

 BMRCL has a Lean Organisation for Project implementation

implementation..
 BMRCL have engaged General Consultants (GC) consisting of a
consortium of RITES/India, Oriental Consultants/Japan,
Parsons Brinkherhoff/USA
Brinkherhoff /USA and SYSTRA/France for
Implementation of the Project
Project..
 They have both expatriates and Indian personnel having
expertise in Design, Procurement, Construction/Installation,
Testing and Commissioning of Metro Railway Systems
conforming to International codes and practices
practices..
 ROLE OF GC

 GC is entrusted with the responsibility of preparation of

Technical specifications to latest International standards, Lay
Down Qualification Criteria, preparation of tender documents,
scrutiny and evaluation of tender bids for selection of
contractors and award of works
works..
 Post contract award stage, GC carries out Review of Design &
their finalization/approval, methodology of construction,
selection of vendors and their approval as per international
norms, supervision of construction/manufacture, witnessing
Factory Acceptance Tests, Inspection/clearance of equipment
at manufacturer’s works
works..

Continued………
 ROLE OF GC
 The site installation, testing & commissioning of various sub
sub--
systems-- Track, Traction Power Supply, Signal & Telecom,
systems
Rolling Stock and work shop equipments etc including
integrated testing and commissioning which is also the
responsibility of the GC
GC..

 Each manufacturer/contractor is having Independent and

Separate Safety Organization to certify safety of the respective
sub--system
sub system..

Continued………
 ROLE OF GC

 BMRCL have also engaged independent safety assessor

(ISA) which is an accredited international agency to
conduct technical audit, certify Signaling and Train Control
System after scrutiny of the procedures and witnessing of
the tests similar to the practices adopted on International
Metro Rail System
System..

 BMRCL have also engaged another international agency

(M/ss.Interfleet
(M/ Interfleet/UK
/UK-- Former British Rail Research Centre) to
verify Train Bogie Design independently in regard to safety
as per international codes
codes..
 ROLE OF GC

 Both the above international agencies along with General

consultants have witnessed Integrated Testing and
Commissioning of the System before being offered to
Commissioner of Railway Safety for clearance
clearance..

 Thus for Metro Railways, International Accredited Agencies

engaged as General Consultants, Independent Safety
Assessors and Independent Checking Engineers are ensuring
the safety of Metro Rail System and their role is akin to role of
RDSO/Zonal Railway on Indian Railway System
System..
SAFETY CERTIFICATION PROCEDURE FOLLOWED FOR
COMMISSIONING REACH-
REACH-1 OF BMRCL
 BMRCL submitted all design documents (after checking by GC) to RDSO
from December 2009 2009/onwards
/onwards in respect of Track, Traction Power,
Signaling/ Telecom & Rolling StockStock..
 The queries raised by RDSO were also replied promptly promptly.. After
protracted correspondence, RDSO issued a Speed Certificate MC/BMRC
dated:: 01
dated 01..11
11..2010 for conducting Oscillation trials
trials..
 The same speed certificate was withdrawn by RDSO vide RDSO letter
NO:: MC/BMRC dated
NO dated:: 1818..02
02..2011 on the plea that SOD and Track
Structures are yet to be approved
approved..
 The approval to SOD and Track Structure was communicated by Railway
Board on 11 11..04
04..2011 and subsequently RDSO issued fresh Speed
Certificate for conducting Oscillation and EBD trials vide letter
No::MC
No MC/BMRC
/BMRC dated
dated:: 21
21..04
04..2011
2011..
 Thus it has taken about 16 months for RDSO/MOR to approve designs,
SOD and issue speed certificate for conducting oscillation trials
trials..
 SAFETY CERTIFICATION PROCEDURE FOLLOWED FOR
COMMISSIONING REACH-
REACH-1 OF BMRCL
 RDSO conducted Oscillation Trials during June 2011 at a maximum speed
of 85 kmph . Though the results were satisfactory, the maximum speed
of the Rolling Stock was arbitrarily fixed at 55 kmph in July 2011
2011.. Upon
strong representation by BMRCL, DG/RDSO was kind to depute testing
team to Bangalore for extended trials on priority for 2 days along with
long confirmatory runs at maximum speed of 85 KmphKmph..

 Based on extended Oscillation trial results, RDSO vide letter dated :

12..08
12 08..2011 certified the maximum speed of 75 Kmph applying mainline
railway criteria
criteria..

 Railway Board while giving condonation to SOD reduced the maximum

speed further from 75 Kmph to 65 Kmph besides imposing speed
restrictions on curves
curves..
 SAFETY CERTIFICATION PROCEDURE FOLLOWED FOR
COMMISSIONING REACH-
REACH-1 OF BMRCL

 A representation was made by BMRCL management to the highest

authority in Railway Board for restoring the maximum speed of 75 Kmph
Kmph..
It was assured that after service of three months the speed of 75 kmph (as
certified by RDSO) would be restored restored.. BMRCL vide letter
BMRCL/14
BMRCL/ 14/PPCCRS/
/PPCCRS/2012 dated:: 8th May 2012 has sent consolidated
2012//780 dated
report on operation of metro services after satisfactory completion of six
months of revenue services with the request to permit maximum speed of
75 Kmph as certified by RDSO
RDSO.. But NO RESPONSE HAS BEEN RECEIVED SO
FAR..
FAR
 OUR SUGGESTIONS TO METRO ADVISORY BOARD
 Metro systems have improved safety arrangement viz viz.. ATP, ATO, ATS,
CBI, complete track circuit unlike Railways Railways.. There are onboard
computers, state of the art traction/braking, door control systems &
train radio system etcetc.. on the Rolling Stock
Stock.. Track is ballastless with
Head Hardened Rails
Rails.. Such integrated systems are not existing on Indian
Railways.. Therefore review and checking of designs (already reviewed
Railways
by GC/International Agencies) by RDSO is not required as this causes
unnecessary correspondence, education/explanation to the RDSO
Engineers.. Certificate from GC, ISA and Independent checking engineer
Engineers
should be sufficient for ensuring adequacy of safety
safety..

 Instrumentation by RDSO during oscillation trials is very crude and

requires welding
welding.. On the other hand instrumentation done by RS
manufactures is state of the art
art.. Therefore should be acceptable
acceptable..
 OUR SUGGESTIONS TO METRO ADVISORY BOARD
 On Metro Railway Systems stations are about 1 km apart requiring high
acceleration and retardation
retardation.. To maintain required headways, trains have
to run at close intervals with minimum separation distance ensured by
Signaling System automatically and quick turn back facility at terminals
terminals..
Reduction of maximum speed arbitrarily (applying mainline railway
criteria) is un
un--warranted as it impacts headway and running timetime.. Further
we are becoming laughing stock before international agencies agencies.. The
reduction from the maximum test speed should be NIL because
instrumentation and sensors provided are “state of the art” and precise
precise..
 Reduction of speed by 10 10%% by RDSO from the oscillation trial speed is
illogical in the context of Metros
Metros.. This is done in IR system as
 The control of the speed of the train is in the hands of the train
driver
 To overcome the driver’s reaction time, etc etc..
 Manual controlling of speeds is difficult and cannot be precise
 OUR SUGGESTIONS TO METRO ADVISORY BOARD

 In the calculation of safe speeds on curves, it is rounded off to lower

5kmph
kmph.. This is not necessary in metro as speeds can be controlled very
precisely due to sophisticated Train Control System available . It is
suggested it may be rounded off to the lower 1kmph
kmph..

 The Speed certificate has been indicated as valid for Reach

Reach--1 only and
RDSO requires that repeat trials be conducted again for other Reaches
Reaches..
As the train, track structure, traction power supply, S&T system design
basically remain the same, repeating the Oscillation trial for remaining
reaches is not considered necessary
necessary..
 OUR SUGGESTIONS TO METRO ADVISORY BOARD
 Track, Traction, Signalling & Communication manuals have been sent to
RDSO for concurrence
concurrence.. Some manuals have been sent more than 3
months back
back.. There is no response from RDSO regarding their
concurrence.. The respective Metro Railway Administration should be
concurrence
authorized to approve their maintenance manuals
manuals..

 The role of RDSO/MOR should be minimal as they have no stake in

completing the projects on time and within budget
budget..

 Summarizing for safety certification of Metro Rail System International

practices including engagement of International consultants should be
permitted through an open tendering process
process.. RDSO also should quote
against the tender committing time schedule and cost in respect of
safety certification like other international consultants/Agencies
consultants/Agencies..

Status Report on High Speed Rail Link
HPC, 22nd meeting held on 13th June 2012 examined
the matter regarding
– Implementation of HSRL as in the DPR prepared by DMRC or

– the aforesaid alignment needs to be taken underground

from BRV grounds to beyond Hebbal and upto Government
Flying Training School or

– extending the proposed Gottigere – Nagawara line to the

Airport.
 Status Report on High Speed Rail Link
• After detail deliberations , HPC decided that the
situation now is completely different from the time
when the HSRL was conceived since it pre-dates the
proposal for Phase-2 of Bangalore Metro.
• Extending the Gottigere-Nagavara line to the Airport is
definitely an option which is presently available for
consideration, which was not available earlier.
• HPC desired that a detailed note be submitted by
BMRCL for consideration of the State Government.
