RAMS study is missing 33 Rail Baltic/ Rail Baltica reliability, availability and maintainability and safety study | Railway systems are combinations of software, electronics and mechanical components and the interactions between technical systems and the economical / social systems are inter-dependent. This study aims to provide knowledge and skills to enable designers/infrastructure managers in the development and operation of safe, reliable and easily maintainable systems. The result of study prescribes how products and systems can be used safely, and how technical faults can be avoided and how to plan and cost-effectively perform maintenance. Services Q RB Rail AS

11. Control, Command and Signaling & Energy subsystems
Both subsystems will be procured and deployed centrally by RB Rail
The aim - to produce a comprehensive procurement and deployment strategy:
market and supplier assessment
ensuring optimum interoperability through single solution
dynamic deployment schedule.
The study elements: supplier market analysis, technical pre- study, procurement and deployment strategy development.
Start of tender: Q4

12. Railway superstructure components & infrastructure elements
Study aim: to determine whether procurement cost savings can be generated via economies of scale by consolidating the procurement of railway superstructure components and railway infrastructure elements
Analysis of:
the market conditions and availability,
potential supplier identification,
initial quality assessment
pricing aspects.
Start of tender Q2 2017
The primary aim of this study is to determine whether procurement cost savings can be generated via economies of scale by consolidating the procurement of railway superstructure components and railway infrastructure elements (e.g. rails, fastenings, sleepers, switches, ballast, pre-fabricated culverts, underpasses, small bridges / viaducts, noise barriers, etc.)
Additionally, this study will analyze the market conditions and availability, potential supplier identification, initial quality assessment and pricing aspects.
Start of tender Q2 2017

13. Supply of mineral materials in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania
Study on technical and physical-chemical quality of available active and passive mineral deposits and quarries
Analyzis of
the availability of natural resources (in the vicinity of the construction works),
the market conditions and availability,
potential supplier identification,
initial quality assessment and pricing aspects
the possible options, economic effects
Result: propose the most feasible option to enable sufficient supply
without causing unacceptable negative impact on the
environment
Start of tenders: Q2
These studies will focus on technical and physical-chemical quality of available active and passive mineral deposits and quarries (mainly sand, gravel, limestone) in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
The studies will analyze the availability of those natural resources in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and in particular in the vicinity of the construction works of Rail Baltica.
The study shall also investigate the possible options, economic effects and propose the most feasible option in order to enable sufficient supply without causing unacceptable negative impact on the environment.
These studies will analyze the market conditions and availability, potential supplier identification, initial quality assessment and pricing aspects.

14. Supply of mineral materials in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania
Study on how to generate cost savings on mineral materials’ procurement
CONSOLIDATED PROCUREMENT
DECENTRALISED PROCUREMENT
Start of tender: Q4 2017
Additional study will determine whether procurement cost savings can be generated via economies of scale by consolidating the procurement of mineral materials needed for railway construction in the three Baltic states, as opposed to procuring them in a decentralized fashion by each national implementing body or contractor directly
