Elevated Service Access Platforms (ESAPs) for Stabling Yards Analysis

ESAPs installation in stabling yards requires precise coordination with OHW systems and train maintenance requirements. Production rates vary based on platform configuration, yard layout, and interface constraints. Modern modular systems and prefabricated components have improved installation efficiency, with some projects achieving installation rates of up to 30m of platform per week under optimal conditions.

Key Statistics:

  • Average platform length: 150-200m per road
  • Typical width: 1.2-1.5m
  • Installation rate: 20-30m/week
  • Steel erection: 5-8 tonnes/day
  • Typical span: 6-8m
  • Best practice completion: 4-6 weeks/road
  • Average cost: $8,000-12,000/m
  • Safety compliance rate: 100%

Note 1: Production rates are indicative only.

Note 2: Rates vary based on:

  • Yard configuration
  • Access constraints
  • Interface requirements
  • Resource availability
  • Weather impacts
  • Possession availability

Note 3: Duration calculation formula:
D = (PL × NR × CF) + IC, where:

  • D = Total duration
  • PL = Platform length factor
  • NR = Number of roads
  • CF = Complexity factor (1.0-1.5)
  • IC = Integration constant

Influencing Factors:

  • OHW configuration
  • Yard operations
  • Access restrictions
  • Material delivery
  • Weather conditions
  • Safety requirements
  • Testing/certification
  • Integration requirements
  • Resource availability
  • Possession windows
