Our work

As part of the APAMs required aerodrome lighting upgrades to ensure compliance with CASR139, Airservices are required to integrate the modern highly controllable lighting updates into INTAS (Integrated Tower Automation Suite).

Plan Safe are delivering the safety assurance program for the project. Our consultants are providing safety assurance services for the new lighting control upgrades.

Once the projects initiated by APAM have been completed, there will be additional functionality and support for ATC when managing traffic within the manoeuvring area, which increases flexibility. This functionality includes the introduction of additional Stop Bars and the MOWP functionality for lighting maintenance.

As part of the Automatic Train Protection (ATP) Project, the $120M Waratah ATP upgrade is required to provide additional safety benefits and more reliable services by ensuring trains operate within the permitted speed limit.

We were the system safety consultant for the project, providing specialist expertise to ensure the safe implementation of this critical safety system. Our consultants provided design safety assurance for the new ETCS system including management of all software safety aspects.

Plan Safe has delivered systems safety for the world’s first fully redundant integrated ATP/TCMS Driver workstation. The delivered ETCS workstation includes redundant displays with a first-of-its-kind manually selected Day/Night mode colour palette applied to the entire Driver Machine Interface.

As part of the $1.5 billion More Trains, More Services program, the Sydney Growth Trains project aims to provide customers with a new fleet of 24 eight-car comfortable, air-conditioned trains.

The Sydney Growth Trains project has delivered 24 modern, double decked trains to the people of Sydney, with a further 17 trains in production. It is the fastest ever delivery of trains from contract signing to passenger service in Australia.

While fog is a relatively uncommon occurrence at Perth Airport, each year, around a dozen such weather situations arise and cause significant and costly disruptions to operations and air services.

Plan Safe consultants provided systems and software safety assurance to the ILS and lighting system changes. Perth Airport manages up to 400 flight movements per day and needed to remain operational throughout construction.

With the Category I to a Category IIIB lighting and aerodrome upgrade now in place, Perth Airport is now more attractive for long-haul flights, and even secured the highly-anticipated Qantas direct flight to London.
