Because complex projects require intelligent solutions

South Africa's largest Resignalling Project

From the onset of the Durban Resignalling Project, Quantivia™ has been helping Bombardier Africa Alliance support the modernising and strengthening of South Africa's rail control systems. For Bombardier, this project creates an important milestone for a sustainable presence in South Africa, delivering new, more affordable and effective train services.

The Project in more detail

Deployment

Quantivia™ tracks the initial mobilisation, engineering (design), procurement, installation/construction, testing & commissioning and the As-Built drawings phases of the project

Customer Benefits

The system provides visibility of the project’s progress of the 8 phases, four functions (design / procurement / installation / T&C), six workstreams (Signalling / Telecommunications /Trackwork/ OHTE & Mains Power / Signalling Power / Civil), per station and per responsibility (six consortium partners) of the project.

Consortium Benefits

Provides visibility to the project team members of the project’s progress, and allows them to identify areas requiring specific attention.

WHY QUANTIVIA™

The design, procurement, installation and commissioning of a new signalling system, whilst maintaining an existing rail operating system, is extremely complex. It requires intricate planning and ongoing progress monitoring to ensure an integrated delivery approach. The multi-disciplinary nature of the work, as well as the scope spilt between the six consortium partners, requires world class progress monitoring.

Quantivia™ was chosen to report project progress to the customer and within the consortium. This information is used to provide a clear and unambiguous assessment of the work achieved. Subjectivity has been replaced with an objective statement of fact.
