Design Processes and Technical Queries
Design Processes
Electrical and ITS Engineering Design must be undertaken according to the processes outlined below.
We maintain a database of design drawings for the Electrical and ITS Asset Base. New designs on existing roads must be undertaken using the current AutoCAD design drawings as a basis. The current AutoCAD drawings can be requested as per below. These design drawings require assets to be individually and uniquely numbered and the process to obtain new numbers is outlined below.
Further detailed information in respect of the above is contained within the Handover of Electrical and ITS Assets Policy and Procedure available on the Quality and Inspection Policy for Electrical and ITS Assets page.
Obtaining Asset Drawings
To receive a copy of asset drawings, please forward your inquiry to electricalplanrequest@mainroads.wa.gov.au.
In your email please identify the following:
- Locality
- Street Name
- Asset Type
- Project Name
- Contract Details
New Asset Number Requests
All requests for asset numbers are to be made using the Electrical Asset Number Request form, and submitted electronically to electricalassetrequest@mainroads.wa.gov.au.
Numbers should be requested during the design stage of any project to allow for assets to be accurately referenced within drawings and plans.
Please note that requests for multiple assets must be made on separate forms unless agreed with the Manager Electrical Asset Management or delegate before submission.
Design Review Requests
For all your design reviews, please submit your request to elec&itsreviews@mainroads.wa.gov.au.
We aim to reply to all requests within 10 working days. You will be notified if additional time is required to respond.
Technical Queries and Requests for Information
General
Technical Queries (TQ) and Requests for Information (RFI) are written requests for technical information or decisions from Main Roads Electrical and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) engineering staff.
Main Roads construction projects are encouraged to make use of the TQ/RFI process, as are maintenance and operational staff.
The process is not to be used for urgent or critical matters that require an immediate response.
Process
The TQ/RFI form is to be filled out and submitted to the e-mail address EAM_TQ&RFI@mainroads.wa.gov.au.
A link to the TQ/RFI form is available below:
Technical Query and Request for Information Form
Please note the following requirements when completing the form:
- Third party TQ/RFI forms may be submitted, by simply attaching and making reference within the Main Roads TQ/RFI form
- Include as attachments all drawings and documents which may have a bearing on the decision or information being provide
- Include a recommended solution if applicable to the query, for example for a simple information request this might include the release of certain technical documents.
