Total Contract Value : RM2,000,000+ (~USD580,000+)
Contracting Officer : Johnny Boulianne
+60 (017) 880-0896
Summary of Work:
Sync R&D and its partners, MRDC and San Diego Composites
(SDC) designed, analyzed, and observed fabrication and testing of
the first Gen2 prototype of the world’s first structural composite
body monorail.
SDC designed and analyzed the composite body while Sync R&D
and MRDC designed the welded, stainless steel chassis and
composite interior structures using SolidWorks and Nastran.
The load cases for the vehicle included normal quasi-steady state
loads as well as fatigue assessments per BS7608
(similar to AWS D1.1) and dynamic loads for shock and vibration
situations.

Engineering Design
Standards to comply with:
There were also several standards that we have to comply with during
the design of the monorail train which include:
ASCE 21-98 (Part II)
Covers load cases for various chassis, exterior and interior parts.
Examples for interior parts are stanchions loads, wheel-chair space
and load requirements, ergonomic of passengers (size of seat,
standing area, etc), electrical safety, lighting requirement and flooring.
NFPA 130 –
Standard for Fixed Guideway Transit and Passenger Rail Systems
Fire rating for trains
Covers minimum requirement for fire worthiness of interior
components, and methods and best practices to ensure fire worthiness.
BS7608 –
Code of Practice for Fatigue Design and Assessment of Steel Structures
Weld classifications of steel
Fatigue criteria of welded steel sections
Vandal proof material needs to be used to avoid too frequent
refurbishment of the interior. Typically, interior of trains needs to be
refurbished a least every 7.5 years.
Solicitation Relevance:
The work performed for Scomi is relevant because it required a
comprehensive analysis of a very large structure comprised of composite,
steel, aluminum and various other materials represented as 1D, 2D and
3D elements.
Problems & Corrections:
No known problems with this effort.

installation of the hydraulic actuator and electrical control systems
of the 3-point prototype monorail switch. The engineering
drawing package is also managed and updated to ensure latest in
formation is available among the team members. As-built drawing
package is delivered at the end of the project to reflect all changes
and modifications made to the final design during fabrication phase.
Apart from design, Sync R&D also develops installation document,
inspection and testing plan, operation and maintenance manual and
training document. During inspection and testing phase, engineers
from Sync R&D are placed on-site to observed and provide
support for the tasks.
Solicitation Relevance:
The work performed for Scomi Rail Berhad is relevant because
the hydraulic actuator and electrical control system were designed, fabricated and installed on a tight budget and time
constraints. The systems fully comply with the performance
specification and other requirements set by the customer.
Problems and Corrections:
There were no known problems with this effort.

2, 2Y, 3, 4, 5 and crossover switches
Description, contracting activity, contract number, etc as per
comments in original doc.
Contract # 3 PS 00002
Contract Type : Fixed Cost
Total Contract Value : RM800,000
Contract Officer : Khutubu bin Arifffin
Summary of work:
Sync R&D designed and participated in initial fabrication planning for
the 2-point, 2-point Y, 3-point, 4-point, 5-point and crossover depot
switches. Designs of these switches were based on the 3-point prototype
(AW3-loaded switch) switch developed by Scomi Rail Berhad. The
switches were optimized to carry trains within the depot area
(AW0 load). Changes include modifications of the beams, link beams and
trucks. New hydraulic actuator and electrical control systems are also
developed for the longer stroke 4-point and 5-point switches.
The whole information package including engineering drawings, bill of
material, installation document, testing & inspection plan, operation &
maintenance manual and training instructions are developed and delivered
by Sync R&D. These steel switches are part equipment supplied to the
Mumbai Monorail Project by Scomi Rail Berhad.
Solicitation Relevance:
This project is relevant because it demonstrate Sync R&D’s capabilities to
evolve an existing design to meet new criteria and requirements.
Modification, optimization and good problem-solving skills are applied to
ensure fully operational end product that meets the customer’s
specifications.
Problems and corrections:
There were no known problem with this effort.

Contracting Officer : Chapin Sipherd
(405) 787-6020
Summary of Work:
SRD and its partner led an engineering team that designed an updated
version of the Series I paving kit and some components of the tractor
leg structure to improve surface smoothness, integrate new actuation
methods to enhance performance range, incorporate features to
simplify machine maintenance and repair, identify cost reductions in
hydraulic and purchased parts components, and incorporate design
For manufacturability and assembly concepts to reduce manufacturing
cost.
Solicitation Relevance:
The work performed for CMI is relevant to this project because this
project required engineering design, analysis, and documentation
support for the fabrication of a welded steel structure using American
Welding Society (AWS) D1.1 standards which are similar in scope and
application to BS7608. The framework was made from stock structural
steel shapes, included many welded and fastened assemblies while also
requiring a fairly high degree of manufacturing accuracy.
Problems & Corrections:
There were no known problems with this effort.
