TLIB3094 — Check and repair track geometry

Elements & performance criteria

Performance evidence

• adapting to differences in measuring and repair equipment in accordance with operating procedures
• applying relevant workplace procedures
• assessing and identifying track geometry defects against required rail network standards and applying appropriate restrictions
• certifying track to operational standards after repair work is completed
• checking platform and rail structures clearances horizontal and vertical alignment
• checking the horizontal and vertical alignment, cross-level, cant and gauge of the track
• confirming safe clearances of any structure erected adjacent to or over the track
• determining appropriate repair methods for identified faults
• identifying job hazards and taking required action to minimise, control or eliminate identified hazards
• identifying, selecting and using tools and equipment required for checking and repairing track geometry
• implementing contingency plans
• modifying activities depending on operational contingencies, risk situations and environments
• monitoring work activities in terms of planned schedule
• planning and organising work, including determining work requirements and work methods
• reading and interpreting relevant instructions, procedures, information, plans, drawings and specifications
• recording and reporting results of track work in accordance with workplace procedures
• reporting and rectifying identified problems within limits of own role, in accordance with regulatory requirements and workplace procedures
• selecting and using appropriate lifting and lining methods, and equipment to correct geometry defects
• using appropriate lifting and lining methods, and equipment to restore running surface to required geometry
• using appropriate measurement methods to assess and correct track geometry defects
• working systematically with required attention to detail without injury to self or others, or damage to goods or equipment
