The Works Coordination Meeting (WCM) is held 12 weeks prior to the Closedown or Configuration possession. The equivalent meeting is held 6 weeks prior to and covers a six week forward look ahead into the issues and requirements for the Midweek possessions.
The meeting is used to plan and confirm possession and electrical isolation boundaries, scope, identify risks affecting safety, rail safety, scope clashes, and possession delivery, combined and congested worksites and to coordinate work train and track vehicle movements for major periodic maintenance, capital and stations works, External Party works and Transport projects. This meeting validates, discusses and plans for critical scopes and early start time requirements.
