Overhead Line Electrification (OLE)

Covering complex processes in the field, as well as very simple form data capture – eviFile can deliver a completely digital OLE project. From capturing trial hole data linked to your design platform right through to wire runs, eviFile can be used as the complete Golden Thread for your assurance needs.

Your end to end OLE solution

from field data collection to real time project insights

eviFile lends itself well to very simple programmes of work (proof), as well as the extremely complex (enterprise). For the MML programme with SPL, eviFile created a complex workflow for more than 2,500 assets, all with 20+ activities of work required to sign before the structure was deemed completed.

For the GWEP, eviFile created and managed more than 500,000 individual items of assurance evidence, quality check sheets and photographs.

eviFile’s Control Panel

eviFile’s Control Panel was utilised to configure the asset data, workflows and activities in a matter of days, providing a configured mobile application for the project within a fortnight of the requirements being agreed.

Rapidly Deployed

eviFile can be rapidly deployed on complex projects and trained/implemented across a team of 40 engineers within 4 weeks. Even in the pandemic, eviFile have continued to configure and manage such projects remotely and ensure a successful uptake and management of programs.

Our Success

Key to this success has been eviFile’s close working relationship with the engineering team, fine tuning the data inputs to auto populate design data into the quality check sheets. On top of this, the ability to closely manage quality issues, DOWLs, NCR’s and export data into proprietary Network Rail systems has provided some huge efficiency savings over previous manual data processes or paper-based forms.

Disciplines and Experience

Covering all infrastructure disciplines, project sizes and use cases
“While a lot of recent industry focus has been on Building Information Modelling (BIM), ‘linear’ civil engineering projects place special demands on fieldbased work teams. User- friendly tools like eviFile that automatically connect geolocation with built asset data will help drive successful collaboration between site and office-based workers”
- Steve Caunce, 2020

Who can benefit from eviFile

The entire OLE team are able to use eviFile whether on site with the mobile app or using the web interface in head office.
Construction Manager
Allocating work through eviFile to the team of engineers on-site the Construction Manager can track that activities are delivered safely, on time and budget
Senior Engineer
Collaborating with Construction Managers and Supervisors using eviFile the OLE Engineer can ensure all elements of electrification works are delivered in line with scope
OLE Supervisor
The Supervisor can build a systematic inspection and maintenance schedule (planned and preventative) ensuring that the OLE infrastructure and associated equipment is maintained through the life of the assets.

High level outcomes of using the system were:

eviFile brings efficiencies across the whole OLE project life cycle, from design and planning, through construction to asset management

  • Integrate with possession planners to ensure all aspects of works are planned within specified timescale
  • Establish, maintain and report against programme for construction activities through the OLE project life cycle
  • Collaborate with contractors, sub-contractors, the client and senior management
  • Manage quality issues, DOWLs, NCR’s and export data into proprietary Network Rail systems
  • Assess actual completed works versus planned in real time

Case Studies

The Strategic Advantage of Common Data Environments in Rail and Construction Projects

The rail and construction sectors are experiencing a significant shift towards digital transformation, characterised by the adoption of more open and adaptable systems. Central to this transformation is the utilisation of Common Data Environments (CDEs), which promise to revolutionise project management, data handling, and execution efficiency.
