To determine the composition of the subsoil, geological measurements are carried out on the Swiss standard gauge network by the company Geoprofile. To ensure successful measurements, a geological probing unit is installed on a flat wagon. This vehicle-machine combination has been approved as a service vehicle.
About the project
In order to carry out the required measurements, the vehicle-machine combination, consisting of the geological probing unit and the flat wagon, had to be approved as a service vehicle. The responsibility for the risk assessment lay with Enotrac. In close cooperation between Geoprofile and Enotrac, the necessary authorisation documents were created. A special feature of this project is that the vehicle-machine combination is not permanently assembled, but must be dismantled and reassembled regularly for measurements. The variable use of different flat wagons poses an additional challenge, as a correct set-up must always be ensured, especially with regard to grounding. The approval was granted by the Federal Office of Transport (BAV).
Our contribution
Enotrac was responsible for creating the approval documents for the project. This included the approval concept, the documents list, as well as a safety report including a risk analysis. Furthermore, Enotrac acted as the interface to the Federal Office of Transport (BAV) and was responsible for exchanging information with BAV..
