NR NR/L3/INI/CP0065 ISSUE 1 PDF

The processes and arrangements described in this EMP are mandatory for all projects undertaken within IPE. The EMP should always be read in conjunction with NR/L2/INI/02009.

When other Programmes within Investment Projects (IP), Asset Management (Track) or Infrastructure Maintenance deliver works on behalf of IPE this EMP will apply unless otherwise formally agreed by the IPE Senior Programme Engineering Manager (SPEM) prior to the commencement of the work.

The EMP applies whether the design for a project is undertaken by Network Rail staff or by Suppliers contracted to Network Rail

This EMP applies to projects which protect Network Rail's asset when a party other than Network Rail carries out work alongside, on, over or under Network Rail property unless otherwise varied by an approved asset protection agreement

The EMP also applies when a third party carries out work on Network Rail's assets.

Exceptionally, a Programme Engineering Manager (PEM) may prepare an alternative EMP for a specific project that is not suited to these arrangements. Alternative EMP's are approved by the SPEM and authorised by the Senior Programme Manager (SPM) prior to the commencement of the work.
