Benchmarking and review of heavy haul asset management practices

SYSTRA Scott Lister reviewed Aurizon’s asset and maintenance management performance in a number of areas. These areas included:

• Are Aurizon’s inspection frequencies and triggers for launching asset renewal projects appropriate when compared with other national and international rail operators?
• Has Aurizon’s maintenance regime been fit for purpose, with maintenance effort commensurate with an asset’s criticality, in achieving Aurizon’s commitment to stakeholders?
• Can the performance of Aurizon’s network in achieving commitments to stakeholders be linked to specific asset defect or condition?

SYSTRA through analysis and research comprehensively answered all of these questions for Aurizon.
