LXRP, Bayswater
Project Name: Bayswater Level Crossings Proponent: LXRA, Laing O’Rourke Asset Type: Rail Purpose: Connecting communities and improving safety of road and rail crossings
ENERGY 43% WATER 70% MATERIALS 31%
Design improvements achieved a 43% reduction in energy use over the project’s whole of infrastructure life cycle. Design initiatives achieved a 70% reduction in 'whole of life' water consumption. Demonstrated a significant reduction (approximately 6,600 tCO2-e or 31%) in material impacts for the project.

The IS Rating Scheme
What is the IS rating scheme? 4 Step rating process 3rd party verification Developed by industry for industry Since 2012
All infrastructure types and across the lifecycle
Flexible Approaches
Minor Works Alternate contract models Programs
What does IS cover?
Design Rating As Built Rating Planning Rating Operation Rating Operation Development Initiation Procurement Design Construction IS International Features
An adjustment based
As Built Robust and maintains the IS rating scheme core principles (third party assured, beyond BAU, evidence based etc.) Aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals Flexible, using materiality principals, and can be applied to any region or Country, and can easily be adapted for the local context Support local capability in infrastructure sustainability and provide the support/training to facilitate best for asset
Easy to use and cost effective while still demonstrating leadership in infrastructure sustainability

Criteria Additional Guidance Additional information to help the assessor to determine the appropriate level achieved and the evidence needed to demonstrate that achievement. Note that where the word ‘must’ is used, this refers to a requirement for achievement of a benchmark level, whereas the word ‘should’ is more general guidance.
