Management Plan that outlines the Consortium EMC and Earthing & Bonding process and
strategy [10] The Designer will produce an EMC Control Plan and Earthing & Bonding Strategy
that describes how the requirements of the Consortium EMC and Earthing & Bonding Strategy
will be met and will form an inherent part of the design and technical assurance process. The
Plan will be submitted to the CWEM/TSIM for acceptance.
7.2.1 General
The design development stages have been specified to meet the Employers Requirements for
review and comment as described below. The designs will be developed from the current
Preliminary level of design development to be fully detailed designs fit for construction. The
purpose of the Red Diamond design development stage is to evaluate the preliminary designs
to incorporate scope discussions and option selections and to enable the formation of a
baseline prior to the commencement of detailed design activities following the completion of
Red Diamond.
Red Diamond addresses the Requirements for the supply of General Arrangement Drawings
as specified in Volume 2.1 Section 9.2 General Arrangement Drawings.
Due to the nature and time phasing of the works it will be necessary to release the design in a
number of discrete packages to suit the construction schedule. All packages will be subject to
the design development requirements as stated in this plan.
The Designers will prepare an Interface Management Plan that describes how the Designer
will meet the requirements of the Consortium Interface Management Plan including how they
will manage internal and external interfaces with their design package.
The Designer will prepare a fully coordinated and integrated design for the works. Within this
activity the Designer will manage all interfaces with, and design inputs and outputs from others
and all interfacing organizations. Interfaces include the following:
Internal Interfaces between the main work packages e.g. Rolling Stock to Track.
External interfaces with other packages e.g. KAFD station with Package 3 Lines 4&6.
External interfaces with other projects e.g. Bus Project, Urban local development.
External interfaces with utility companies and local authorities including:
- Ministry of Transport (MoT)
- Riyadh Municipality
- Saudi Telecommunication Company(STC)
- Saudi Electric Company (SEC)
- Riyadh Water and Sewerage Authority
- Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC)
- Mobile Operations (Mobily, Zein)
- Ministry of Defence (MODA)
- Saudi Aramco
- Interface coordination with operations and maintenance entities/functions.
The performance of design progress will be measured using Engineering Progress Reporting
(EPR). The EPR, produced and updated by the DPMs/Product Line Managers, identifies and
tracks progress against engineering deliverables and activities to provide an overall
percentage complete using earned value techniques.
Design progress will also be tracked against the BIM Model and deliverables.
The Consortium Document Management function will produce a template for this purpose.
All design documents will be signed by the Designers competent persons at each of the three
quality stages - Prepare, Check and Approve.
Authorisation levels are defined as:
Prepared by a competent person who produces the design document, checking their
own work complies with codes and standards governing that work.
Checked by a competent person able to undertake a formal detailed check of design
methods, codes and standards, deliverables, calculations, drawings and specifications
produced by another member of the CSJV Design Team. This role is undertaken by a
competent person of the same discipline, not the Preparer, but can be a member of the
same team.
Approved by a competent person able to undertake a review of the design output after
detail checking has taken place to validate that the design is consistent with the project
requirements. Although integration is considered at every stage this level of sign-off is
specifically intended as the final confirmation that inter disciplinary checks have been
carried out.
The Designers will invite the CWEM/TSIM and Project Managers as appropriate to attend all
design reviews together with other interface parties and independent assessors where
necessary. These design reviews will:
be undertaken by appropriately qualified and competent representatives of the functions
concerned with the design and development stages being reviewed;
Evaluate the ability of the design to meet the contract requirements.
Identify any problems and propose necessary actions.
incorporate interface and integration requirements; and
Record the results of the review and verification activities and document any necessary
actions to be taken.
The design safety management process is an iterative process conducted at each stage of the
design development. It is an integral part of the Reliability, Availability, Maintenance and
Safety (RAMS) analysis that is carried out for design.
All Designers carrying out design activities will be required to comply with the appropriate
safety codes and legislation related to their design scope as detailed in the RMP Standards
Baseline. It will be the responsibility of the Designers DPM to:
Provide all necessary liaison and coordination with Consortium Engineering Safety
Management and Health and Safety representatives for the purposes of safety in design.
Ensure the appropriate design reviews are performed and design certification is achieved,
and that adequate information on health and safety in design is provided with all supplied
information.
Review and approve design submissions.
Oversee preparation and updating of Designers Risk Register.
The Designer initially will ensure that designs prepared working down hierarchy of risk controls
will seek to eliminate, substitute or reduce risk in designs they are preparing. These designs
will consider construction, operational, maintenance and demolition or de-commissioning risks.

Design Management Plan
Electronic documents once printed, are uncontrolled and may become out-dated. Refer to Aconex for current revision.
2013 High Commission for the Development of ArRiyadh
As part of the management of risks the design process will undertake the compilation of an
access strategy, plant replacement strategy and ensuring adequate space in plant rooms for
replacing parts. Places of work will be designed to comply with statutory regulations as
detailed in the RMP Standards Baseline.
The Risk Registers are to be used throughout the design, construction and T&C/Handover
phases for:
Design drawings.
Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Information/notes - where the Designer considers
the design to have a residual risk that a competent contractor may not be familiar with, this
risk should be highlighted on the drawing by the use of the HSE box system.
The risk will be reported and communicated under the following headings:
Construction Activities Risks.
Railway Operational Risks.
Railway Maintenance Risks- including cleaning.
Demolition or De-commissioning Risks.
The Designers will develop a Red, Amber & Green list (RAG list) for on-going reference on
which elements, materials or processes to eliminate or avoid and what to encourage in the
design.
Based on best practice the design team will identify design elements, materials and processes
which are either to be avoided because they are judged to represent significant risk to
construction personnel, facilities users and/or the environment or to be preferred because they
represent a reduction in such risks.
The Design Leader will incorporate comments and changes and record these in a document
review sheet in accordance with the Designers processes and procedures, before formal
issue. All design documentation and drawings will be fully approved prior to submission.
The categories of design check adopted by BACS RMP follow the UK classification and are
defined as follows:
Category 0 - structures are small minor constructions and do not require formal technical
approval but should nevertheless be independently checked within the design team.
Category I - structures include bridges with spans less than 20m and other relatively small
constructions. These require formal technical approval and an independent check of the
design by an engineer who may be part of the design team.
Category II - covers all structures which do not fall into any of the other categories. Their
design will be checked by an engineer or team of engineers who must be independent of
the design team but may be from within the designers own organization.
Category III - covers complex structures requiring relatively sophisticated analysis or those
with spans greater than 50m, high skew angles, high redundancy, suspension systems,
steel orthotropic decks, moving bridges, large underground caverns and tunnels etc.
These require an independent design check by an engineer or team of engineers who are
independent of the designers organization. It is particularly important in this case that the
checker possess the necessary expertise and experience suited to the type of structure in
question.
The Designer will identify the requirement for independent design check (Category II or III) and
appoint a checker as appropriate will be decided by the Designer identified during the course
of their design risk management process. A Category III Design Check Log will be maintained
by the BACS Consortium Design Manager.
The checkers scope includes the check of the effects of the proposed construction method
and sequence, and often also a review of the durability and maintenance issues. On
completion of the Category III check, the checker will issue a Cat III Check Certificate.
The ICE will provide a monthly report to BACS copied to the Employer highlighting any
discrepancies and non-compliances from defined requirements, processes and procedures.
The ICE will also pro-actively report any identified non-compliance to BACS for corrective
action.
Specific emphasis will be given to the proving of integration with interfacing systems both
internally within the design package and externally with other designers.
The Design Gate Review will take the form of a presentation by the DPM to the CWJV and TS
delivery teams, Transit Systems Integration Team, Consortium Technical Management team
and other specialists as appropriate.
The objective of the Design Gate Review presentation is for the Designer to present a
convincing argument to the CWEM/TSIM that the design is at the specified maturity. The
presentation will be specifically required to address the following key aspects:
That the design conforms to the specified systems related performance criteria and
Employers requirements including:
- RAM
- Engineering Safety Management
- Requirements Management
- EMC
- Earthing and Bonding
- Operations Concepts
- Testing and Commissioning activities as applicable to the design phase
That a consistent, quality controlled approach is adopted;
That the design is integrated with other parts of the contract and that they fit within the
requirements of the Works Information;
Confirming the current status of the design check process;
That specific deviations or departures from the Standards and design inputs are identified;
justified and addressed in accordance with the process;
reporting on the approval status of design changes;
reporting on the status of Configuration Items;
confirming that the proposed design provides an economic solution;
confirming whether any further independent reviews are required;
reporting on the status of document reviews by the CWEM/TSIM
identifying the status of applicable Consents and Acceptance /Approvals required from
Others throughout the design and construction process;
confirming compliance with relevant standards (BACS RMP Standards Baseline) including
standards applicable at interfaces;
identifying safety hazards, their control, and the degree of residual risk to be managed;
identifying all tests or demonstrations that are required for validation of the works of any
other relevant information and data such as progress on interface development and
Any conditions will be specified on the Gate Pass Certificate. The CWJV Engineering
Manager/Transit Systems Integration Manager will manage the closure of any conditions in
conjunction with the DPMs.
If the Gate Review is not successful, then the CWEM/TSIM will agree a re-work programme
with the DPM and agree a re-submission program to address any issues.
The Project will deploy Projectwise as the engineering environment for the production of
engineering documentation, drawings and models. All submitted documentation will be hosted
in ACONEX as the electronic Database Management System (EDMS) to retain, issue and
control project records and submissions. All project documentation is required to be stored and
controlled within the EDMS. Documentation control requirements will be as stated in the RMP
Documentation Plan. Modelling, drawing and design automation and control shall be stated in
the RMP BIM Execution Plan [8]. The principle software tools to be deployed are as follows:
ACONEX - EDMS.
Projectwise as the engineering Common Data Environment (CDE), i.e. the engineering
production database for engineering models, drawings, specifications, calculations, reports
etc.
Microstation v8.1 and AutoCAD 2014 for drafting.
REVIT Architectural, Structural and MEP.
Bentley RailTrack.
Autodesk Civil3D for civil site works, highways and utilities.
DOORS for requirement management and traceability.
The information management architecture is as shown in Figure 3 below:
The Design of each system will be based on a controlled configuration baseline of documents
including:
Employer Requirements,
Consortium Standards Baseline,
Documents and drawings produced,
Documents or requirements received by other contracts through the interface activity,
Models,
Field documents and survey reports.
Only the documents and models included in the configuration baseline will be used as input
data by the Designers.
The applicable configuration baseline will be managed by the Designers including the
following:
Documents and drawings produced and submitted on Aconex for CWJV/Transit Systems
acceptance.
All the interface documentation (Interface Control Documents and supporting data)
submitted on Aconex and signed by Designer representatives.
All the shared models on ProjectWise.
All the field documents and survey reports submitted on Aconex.
Identification of change.
Evaluation of the consequences of the change.
Agree to progress the change.
Implementation of the change and verification (if approved).
This procedure defines the process to authorise the release of design documentation for the
issuance of design documentation (IFC) by the Designer via Engineering Manager, for the
permanent works design where the design has passed Gate 3 and has the status of IFC in
Aconex.
On occasion there will be a requirement to release design packages prior to IFC milestones to
support manufacturing of long lead time items etc. Although these packages are not at IFC
there is a requirement to manage the release of these packages in a controlled way. The
procedure for the issue of design packages to procurement which are not IFC shall be
managed in accordance with the Subcontracts and Service Requisition Procedure M-BCW-
000000-GE00-PRO-000001[16] and Material Requisitions and Purchase Memorandums
Procedure M-BCW-000000-GE00-PRO-000002 [17].
For the Line-wide systems the TSIM will authorize the release of IFC documentation for
procurement and production.
9 COMPETENCY
The Engineering Director will ensure that only qualified and competent professional designers
undertake design work and the competency of personnel required to check and approve
designs will also be reviewed and approved by the Employer. Competency records will be
maintained on Aconex.
A staff competency matrix will be produced by the Engineering Director indicating the roles
and responsibilities for all Designers carrying out design and checking of design output and
records of individuals competencies.
Where the design is subcontracted, details of the Sub-Designer will be submitted for the
Consortium Engineering Directors acceptance.
To support the above process, the Designers are required to provide the role descriptions and
qualifications of the Designers competent persons fulfilling the key design roles.
All design documents will be signed by the Designers competent persons at each of the three
quality stages; Prepare, Check and Approve.
The person required to sign at each of these levels is stipulated in the Designers competency
records. The ability of a nominated individual to sign on behalf of the required party (at the
designated authorisation level) will be clearly stated.
It is expected that any designer who has checking capability will also have the ability to
prepare. However, it is recognised that at the approval level the skill requirement is more
multi-discipline so the designer may not have the ability to prepare. Authorisation levels are
defined as:
Prepared by a competent person who produces the design document, checking their
own work complies with codes and standards governing that work.
Checked by a competent person able to undertake a formal detailed check of design
methods, codes and standards used deliverables, calculations, drawings and
specifications produced by another member of the CSJV Design Team. This role is
undertaken by a competent person of the same discipline, not the Preparer, but can be a
member of the same team.
Approved by a competent person able to undertake a review of the design output after
detail checking has taken place to validate that the design is consistent with the project
requirements. Although integration is considered at every stage this level of sign-off is
specifically intended as the final confirmation that inter disciplinary checks have been
carried out.
It is an objective of the project that structures should be LEED Compliant to achieve a Silver
Rating as described below.
The systems is points based and there are 100 possible base points distributed across five
major credit categories: Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy and Atmosphere,
Materials and Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality, plus an additional six points for
Innovation in Design and an additional 4 points for Regional Priority. Buildings can qualify for
four levels of certification:
Although BACs will not formally apply for a LEED rating for the project infrastructure, the
Designers will comply with the LEEDS requirements and processes in producing designs that
can achieve a LEED rating for the structure in question taking into account the cost benefit of
achieving the rating in question.
Further detail regarding LEED strategy and sustainability generally will be assessed during the
Detailed Design phase. For the Iconic stations the LEED process will be complied with through
the detailed design phase.
