Engineering (Signalling) Procedure

ESD-25-01 CAD & Drafting Manual for Signalling Drawings
Introduction

Introduction

1.1

Purpose
The purpose of this document is to describe the procedures and standards that must be adhered
to for the production of signalling documentation & drawings for ARTC Network wide signalling
projects.

1.2

Scope
This section of the manual is intended to address the production of CAD drawings associated
with signalling works and to assist in:

Standardise the preparation of drawings

Simplify the various aspects of the work

Provide guidance on detailing

Secure consistency in quality and appearance

Drawings covering signals infrastructure in Victoria are to be in accordance with the agreed
requirements of the VicTrack Drawing Management System. Drawings covering infrastructure in
South Australia and Western Australia will be in accordance with the symbols detailed in
Appendix 6. By agreement with the respective signal maintenance engineer, these symbols
may also be in New South Wales.
If, in special cases or for particular clients, it becomes necessary to deviate from these
practices, then the Signal Standards Engineer must first give approval. Any proposed
permanent change or alternative to these procedures must be circulated to Signal Design
Section staff for their comment and subsequent agreement. Changes shall be incorporated in
this Procedure.
This section of the Manual also contains information and advice on the detailing of drawings.
The use of this information should lead to the best and most economic solution of drafting
problems, (resulting in savings in time and effort) even when the drafting officer is not fully
familiar with the particular work.
Corporation-wide standards are to be found in Section 1 of this manual, or in the Australian
Standard AS1100, parts 101 & 501. This section defines the standards to be applied to drawings
specific to the Signal Design discipline. Generally, all drawings shall comply with Australian
Standards and any project specific special requirements.
All references to Australian Standards refer to the latest edition.

1.3

Signal Design File Structure

All drawings, whether they are AutoCAD (dwg), MicroStation (dgn),XLS, PDF or TIF files must
only be stored and worked on in the specified areas of the server. Local drives should not be
used for working, storage or retrieval of any design files. This applies to both C: & H: drives or
their equivalent.
This reduces the risk of lost work or files due to equipment malfunction and removes the
likelihood of the duplicate drawing files existing outside the storage domain. This process also
takes advantage of server backup operations.

1.4

Setting up the CAD Environment

To maintain compatibility and transparency with the Railcorp draughting systems currently in
use throughout the ARTC alliance framework the AutoCAD environment structure & location
should conform to a specific file structure.
A common directory is created within the working domain within which all AutoCAD related
menus, blocks and templates are to be located. Naming of the sub folders will be as described

Version 1.2

Within these folders there will be a folder for that specific area e.g. > Signalling Plans\Dubbo or
Drivers Diagrams\Dubbo. This system is the same as used for Circuit Books.
Then within each folder there is a sub-folder specific to each type of task:
Designer - This folder is used for storage of any drawings produced or amended during the
design process and can contain any number of other folders. It will be electronically secured for
the user, so he/she will be the only one who can alter the drawing and has total control of how
this area is used. Once the design is done, it can be used to store the drawings until the
updates are ready to commence. No work shall be done to this folder without consulting the
original owner. The CAD controller will always notify the designer about any changes via e-mail.
Maintenance This folder contains a current copy of the Original drawings & is used to update
the drawings from the returned Master Testing Copies for maintenance updating. Once complete
any updated files are copied back to the originals which shall be replaced by the latest version.
This folder is then emptied.
Originals This folder is used to store original files for safekeeping. A backup CD may be also
kept as required.
When all files have been updated & issued, new backup may be CDs burnt and drawing masters
returned for storage.

1.5

Definitions
DOCUMENTS AND DRAWINGS
Document and drawings shall be defined in the context of this manual as technical documents
and technical drawings relating to the infrastructure asset and its life cycle (specification,
design, manufacture, construction, test and commission, operation, maintenance, modification,
disposal) and shall not include documents or drawings relating to correspondence,
administration, finance, marketing, human resource management, project management,
contract management and the like.

1.6

Reference Documents
This Manual shall be read in conjunction with the Particular Specification, any general conditions
attached thereto and other specifications and documents comprising the Contract.
In particular this Manual shall be read in conjunction with ARTC publications:

2.10

Extended Sheets
Extended sheets are not permitted in new designs. Where they are encountered during circuit
book updating, they should be renumbered to retain the original order of the sheets if possible
using the next available sequential sheet number. If this is impractical it is permitted to append
the current sheet number with an alphabetical suffix as appropriate to the existing retain sheet
order. Ie C015G070 part 2 becomes C015G070A etc.

2.11

Circuit Continuation
Where it is required to continue to draw a circuit from one sheet to another, the wire
continuation shall be drawn using the ZZLABEL block then continued on the next sheet using
another ZZLABEL block.
This block allows for placement of text to identify the two wires on separate sheets.
The labeling for circuit wire termination shall be by alphabetic character reference & shall be
placed inside the block of the terminating wire. The continuation wire shall also have the same
block and corresponding alphabetic character reference.
Each wire shall have the circuit name and the continuation circuit sheet number placed adjacent
to the block for ease of following the circuit path. These circuit breaks shall occur in logical
places and be consistent across a range of similar circuit sheets.

Signalling Plans

Signalling Plans

3.1

General
Signalling Plans shall include details in accordance with this procedure and cover the whole of
the Works including interface details at the Contract limits. Plans shall extend sufficiently at
Contract limits to detail approach locking points and overlap clearance points for all signals
included in the Works.

3.2

Overlapping
Overlapping of Signalling Plans shall be kept to a minimum. However individual plans shall
extend sufficiently to detail clearance points for all controlled signals included in the plan. Each
end of the plan shall include the name and drawing number of the adjoining plan.

3.3

Drawing Scales
Metric scales shall be used from the range 1:1000, 1:2000, 1:5000 and 1:10,000 and shall be
submitted for consideration prior to use. The minimum scale for interlocking areas shall be
1:2000 subject to full details being clearly and legibly shown. Changes of scale shall only take
place at kilometre points or at one tenth kilometre points. Asset or Document Discipline

3.4

Centreline
The centreline of all symbols for equipment and structures shall be as longitudinally correct to
scale as feasible and laterally correct relative to the track centre lines and laterally spaced for
legibility.

3.5

Format for Signalling Plans

Generally existing Signalling plans are in MicroStation software. New and amended drawings
shall be prepared using MicroStation v8 or later software.
Signalling Plans shall include the following:1) The scale for all plans on screen shall be 1:1000, multi-scaling for plotted drawings may be
presented for approval.
2) Text shall be made up as follows :a) Station names and title = 5mm high text
b) Track names = 2.5mm high text
c) Any other text shall be 1 .75mm high
3) A Signalling Plan shows the track layout for the area involved on a single line basis ie. each
pair of rails shown as a single line. The Signalling Plans are drawn such that Sydney is on
the left of the plan, the lines are drawn straight. Curve and gradient details, if required, are
drawn above the track layout. The curve diagram illustrates where they occur in the track,
the curve radius shown in metres and the gradient details shown relative to the track and
illustrate the differing gradients by the ratio of the rise or fall. Eg. 1 in 50 etc.
Symbols used to represent the various details on the Signalling Plan shall be in accordance
with the symbols included in Appendix 1.
4) Graphic grouping shall be used at each location area. To facilitate movement of selected
elements as one unit in ratio to movement of track whilst scaling, all items shall be grouped
are as follows:
a) Text and symbols only are grouped.
b) Do not group red and purple items.
