Queensland Train Manufacturing Program

Systems Safety Assurance For The Downer QTMP

The Challenge

QTMP was established by Transport Main Roads, to support Southeast Queensland’s population growth, the opening of Cross River Rail and the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The multi-billion-dollar project includes:

  • Design and manufacture of 65 new six-car passenger trains
  • Construction of new purpose-built manufacturing and maintenance facilities.

What We Did

Our team is providing safety leadership, technical support, and safety strategy for the program, ensuring alignment of safety programs across all three major assets, Rollingstock, Manufacturing Facility, and Maintenance Facility.

Plan Safe were engaged during the bid phase of the project and continue to deliver Systems Engineering and Safety Assurance (SESA) services for the project, including:

  • Development of the System Safety Management Plan for the project
  • Provision of detailed advice for the project leadership team on compliance with Rail Safety National Law
  • Facilitation of hazard identification and analysis workshops for all project assets
  • Development of all Design Safety Cases, for each asset
  • Ongoing client and ONRSR relationship management to ensure acceptance of assets once built
  • Requirements Management including update and maintenance of IBM DOORS™ Database
  • Developing Derived Requirements

The Outcome

Downer and its project partners are now delivering the QTMP with the support of our Rollingstock and Infrastructure systems and safety experts.

The Plan Safe team are working closely with Queensland Rail and Transport for Main Roads stakeholders.
