Phase Design & Engineering are nearing completion of our latest NSCD (Negative Short Circuit Device) Priority 2 ETE Design package, across Kent & Sussex. Our ETE Designers have been surveying multiple Substation and T.P Hut locations over the Kent and Sussex routes, on behalf of our Client BAM UK & Ireland, with the view to producing compliant, safe and robust detailed ETE/ETM designs to support the wider NSCD roll-out. NSCDs form part of the ‘Electrical Safety Delivery’ (ESD) programme, formerly known as the National Electrical Safety Improvement Programme (NESIP), which consists of many elements and workstreams. One of the key challenges is to achieve near full compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 - including the requirement for secure isolations. Phase Design & Engineering are passionate about supporting such projects and initiatives, with improving electrical safety across the network. Our ETE scope for the latest package, included multiple conductor rail modification proposals, full gapping analysis studies, DC track feeder cable enhancements and Substation negative return cabling / T.P Hut negative reference cabling proposals. Bespoke copperwork busbar modifications were also designed in areas, to ensure a compliant arrangement for both the ETE and NSCD cabling. The Phase Design & Engineering approach to these designs, and all multi-discipline designs that we produce, has been to focus on the future installation, operation and maintenance of the designed assets. Whilst this takes additional time at design stage, our focus on buildability, the end user and also future maintenance and modification schemes, separates us from the others and has been very well received by existing and new Clients. Every asset is surveyed properly and in detail, with full correlations undertaken on each applicable NR record drawing, eliminating the risk of designs being either generic, or incurring heavy red-lining when the construction stage arises. With all designs to date approved with CAT1 DRNs, we look forward to supporting this electrical safety project over the line, and seeing the finished products on site!

Over the recent years, a target discipline for Phase Design & Engineering has been ETE (Electrical Track Equipment) designs, focusing on conductor rail and associated DC cabling aspects. Historically, our team have often found this discipline to be diluted across the industry, with a lack of detail and generic proposals put forward. We set the challenge of identifying areas of conductor rail / ETE design that could be improved, to offer our clients an increased level of detail to meet and exceed client expectations. This approach has been gratefully received by our clients, and has led to Phase Design & Engineering becoming a valuable supply chain partner to many principal contractors across the DC electrified network. With the Network Rail 3rd Rail area having approximately 4,400 track km at nominal 750-volt dc, there is significant opportunity to produce robust and credible proposals for a number of enhancement and upgrade projects. Here, our teams are on the Isle of Wight, undertaking conductor rail surveys alongside Pod-Trak, as part of a wider scope of works for South Western Railway on the Island Line. Our conductor rail surveys are planned and executed in detail, with key data recorded from the asset such as rail weight, average percentage wear (head, web and foot) and compliant gauging. Traditionally across the third rail networks, conductor rail condition had been assessed by local maintenance teams using an insulated profile gauge, directly measuring the wear dimensions and forwarding the data captured for analysis. By the 1980s the gauge was modified by converting the measuring scales to read percentage wear, instead of the actual wear dimensions, thus removing the need for computation and further analysis. This system then fell into disuse with the anticipated development of train born monitoring systems and the difficulty in arranging safe access to discharged conductor rail, to facilitate handheld callipers to be used, as demonstrated below. Our next company technical briefing is on profile gauging, with a technical commentary paper produced for discussion and continued development within the team. Phase Design & Engineering have a strong focus on historical conceptions and developments, which our designers can then understand and utilise the best practices and proved theory within modern proposals.
