Vertex Systems Engineering (Vertex) supported Network Rail High Speed Ltd with an assessment for the introduction of a miniature snow plough on High speed 1 infrastructure. The project required an evaluation of the operational and safety risks associated with running a plough on a railway. The objective of this project was to consider for-and-against arguments to provide a robust argument to either support the trial and use of a snow plough or demonstrate that the risk of running one is intolerable through safety concerns or operation/performance induced problems.
Vertex Engineers employed the following competencies during these works.
Vertex staff encouraged NRHS Staff to widen scope in order to consider other methods of clearing snow that had not previously been considered. This enabled a more holistic view of the potential solutions and for pros/cons of other systems which were included in the final report.
All resource that was deployed to the HS1 project were subject matter experts and conversant with HS1 infrastructure, this prevented any delays during mobilisation.
