Iarnród Éireann (IÉ) are currently developing the design of systems for active monitoring of particular remote railway civil infrastructure items (assets). It is envisaged that these systems will provide IE with timely and effective warning and monitoring systems in order to determine for example; actual status, conditions and if these assets are becoming compromised within specified parameters. These systems may (as a minimum) have alert modes which will indicate failure in the following scenarios:
Show more
• the monitored assets itself (failure in part and full);
• any part of the monitoring equipment/system;
• the ability for the system to accurately report actual asset status;
• any fault which effects the operation and management of the system.
In order to perform the data storage and alarm communication requirements of these systems, IÉ are seeking to procure a communications system prior to installation of the monitoring equipment.
— there shall be no limit to the number of logins to the system, and the rights to usage of the system by any third parties shall be to the sole discretion of Irish Rail,
A separate tender process will be conducted for the supply and installation of asset sensor systems which this communication platform will support.
