Repair faults in Tramway components, equipment and assets
Overview
| This standard is about repairing faults on Tramway components, equipment and assets. You will be able to use methods and techniques, approved for use by your organisation, to locate and repair faults that involve one or more of the following areas of the Tramway: Electrification Signalling Telecommunications Track Trackside environment The type and range of repairs could be complex and involve dismantling, removing, adjusting, modifying, replacing and installing a range of components, equipment and assets. The repairs may involve the interaction between two or more assets, components and equipment found in the Tramway environment. You may be required to undertake the repair activities individually or as part of a team. The repairs may also involve one or more of the following technologies; Electrical Hydraulic Mechanical Pneumatic Electronic Thermal You will be required to determine, from the information and documentation provided, what has to be completed and how it can be achieved safely, within the time frames allotted and in accordance with the environment and site conditions. You will understand the methods and procedures used and their application to carry out activities, ensuring that the repaired components, equipment and assets meet the required specification. Your underpinning knowledge will provide an understanding of your work and will provide an informed approach to applying problem solving techniques and procedures within an integrated system. You will know and understand the safety precautions required when undertaking the repair activities, especially those for isolating the equipment and for taking the necessary safeguards to protect yourself, the wider environment and other people in the workplace. This standard is for those who work in the Tram engineering environment at supervisor or technician level. |
