Rapid Remediation and Stabilisation of a Critical Transport Infrastructure Project
Sector: Critical Infrastructure (Transport) | Capability: Project Remediation & Risk Reduction | Timeframe: 2025
Problem
A transport critical infrastructure project had deployed a large, high-security environment. Due to the security restrictions, routine maintenance was not performed, leading to cascading system failures that impacted operations and delayed commissioning. The organisation faced significant operational, compliance, and contractual risks, requiring urgent intervention to stabilise the environment and restore progress.
Solution
Calexi staff were engaged to baseline the project’s current status and lead the remediation effort. A structured, risk-based methodology was applied to stabilise and restore the environment:
- Rapid Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to identify system interaction points, failure modes, and risks.
- Risk-based prioritisation to guide remediation efforts with a focus on safety, compliance, and critical systems.
- Dependency-driven remediation plan, mapping and prioritising systems based on operational interdependencies.
- Rapid restoration of operations, remediating failed systems and stabilising the environment.
- Continuous communication and documentation, providing high-quality reporting to vendors, state government, and international stakeholders.
Results
The remediation produced both immediate stabilisation and long-term assurance:
- Systems stabilised and routine operations restored within two weeks.
- Commissioning recommenced, overcoming prior delays.
- Risk profile reduced from very high to medium.
- Stakeholder confidence restored, supported by transparent communication and reporting.
- Accurate risk insights provided, detailing long-term consequences of poor maintenance and cascading failure risks.
- Comprehensive maintenance plan delivered, preventing recurrence and enabling sustainable management of the environment.
