Basic Microstation for Signalling Design
Course Overview
The course is aimed at Project Engineers who would like to improve their knowledge of Microstation and their understanding of the processes, NRG acceptance criteria and CAD standards requirements for using Microstation for circuit design.
Location and Dates
All Ecado Microstation courses are delivered in-house at clients' premises and we will do our best to fall in with dates that suit your delegates. A minimum of four delegates is usually required to make the training viable.
Intended Audience
Typically delegates should hold or be working towards 1.1.100 Assistant Signalling Designer, 1.1.150A Signalling Schemes Designer or 1.1.150C Signalling Designer.
Duration: 1 Days
Objectives and Benefits
- Be able to work confidently with the basic Microstation 2D toolset.
- Be able to produce design that meets the NRG acceptance criteria and other Network Rail guidelines and standards.
- Be aware of the correct resources to be used for signalling circuit design.
- Be enthusiastic about sharing ideas and knowledge with colleagues in order to improve both individual and collective CAD performance and productivity.
