Our Key Projects

The Rail Management System (RMS) is a Communications Based Train Control (CBTC) system developed for BHP's Iron Ore Railway in the Pilbara. Mage Consulting has been supporting the safety assurance of this project since 2022 with about 3 FTEs. During our time on the project, we have:

• Ran dozens of safety engineering workshops covering the entire functionality of the system
• Developed the SIL Allocation and Demonstration Reports and conducted the underlying assessments
• Managed the RMS Hazard Log
• Developed a number of Safety Cases including the final Specific Application Safety Case

We have been supporting Downer on a number of project engagements including:

• Providing safety assurance services for the Through Life Support (TLS) of the High Capacity Metro Trains (HCMT) at their Pakenham East Depot
• Leading the safety assurance workstream for the introduction of the Next Generation Tram (NGT / G Class) on behalf of the operator, Yarra Trams
• Finalising the safety assurance documentation for the Calder Park Light Service Facility (LSF)

We conducted an independent review of the functional safety assessment undertaken by Arup for the Adelaide St Tunnel extension of the Brisbane Metro. Our independent review of the methodology and assessment undertaken was crucial in aligning the expectations between Arup and the end client.

Mage is participating in the QTMP project via Andrew Engineering on the delivery of 11 Specialist Equipment packages to the Ormeau Maintenance Depot which will be the home of a fleet containing 65 new EMUs. 

This includes equipment such as the Train Body Wash, Depot Personal Protection Equipment (DDPS) and the Bogie Overhaul Shop. 

We have led the RAM, Safety, Life Cycle Cost (LCC) and Obsolescence Management activities for the Specialist Equipment.
