Control Room Ergonomics
TAS have implemented upgrades to client main control room / operations centres. This ensures best use and interface to automation and control systems and considers key requirements of the control and operations centre environment.
TAS approach this work in a phased manner initially by determining systems and user requirements. This is facilitated through site survey, development planning and user questionnaires. Information is then collated into a 'Client Brief' or 'User Requirement' high level document. The next stage is to develop this high level specification into a detailed design document that can be used to implement the control room build or modifications.
STAGE 1 – Control Room User Requirements
TAS approach this work in a phased manner initially by determining systems and user requirements. This is facilitated through site survey, development planning and user questionnaires.

The next stage is to develop this high level specification into a detailed design document that can be used to implement the control room build or modifications.
STAGE 1 – Control Room User Requirements
- Confirm and validate modifications in line with ergonomic and human-centred design processes.
- Draw up appropriate user questionnaire to establish expectations and requirements. This will also bring users into change cycle and instill a level of ownership.
- Establish systems currently used, upgrades and final room content.
- Check status of existing systems through limited 'first pass' surveys
- Check electrical distribution facilities and study options to refit power systems.
- Meet and discuss logistical requirements and change-over plans with operational management
- Consolidate questionnaire and survey data into ‘Client Brief’. This will be the user specification for all aspects of the new control room.
STAGE 2 – M&E Specification, Project Management, CDM
- Prepare M&E specification to allow contractor tender and selection.
- Prepare detailed layout plans (final and any interim arrangements may be required).
- Coordinate and manage change out plan
- CDM Planning Supervision
