Railcar classes WDA-B-C-WEA-B - Overhaul of Bogies

⁠⁠⁠Background

The Public Transport Authority’s (PTA) train bogies are required to be regularly overhauled based on the individual component Operational Equipment Manual (OEM) recommended replacement / service times.  Prospector bogies are generally overhauled every 5.5 years, (1.2 million km).  Overhauls include wheel set changes which incorporate final drive overhaul and other component inspections plus the replacement of all rubber components, dampers, springs, brake discs and brake calliper / cylinder refurbishment.  This overhaul is the third overhaul undertaken, (16.5 year, 3.6 million km), and will be more comprehensive than previous overhauls. This contract is for a six (6) year contractual term for the overhaul services for Siemens SF5000 bogies as outlined below.
