SYSTRA was responsible for the development and execution of strategies for the integration of all testing and commissioning and asset management activities required to ensure the ESA is postured and prepared for service on opening day.

Using Systems Engineering methods and processes, SYSTRA developed a comprehensive approach that captured requirements of all programs and stakeholders. During this first phase, SYSTRA developed the ESA Master Project Testing Plan, Asset Management Plan, Commissioning Plan, System Transition and Turnover Plan, Master Training Plan, Operational Readiness Program Plan, Operational Readiness Responsibility Matrix, and Operational Readiness Master Schedule.

All deliverables met or exceeded industry standards, were in conformance with FRA and FTA regulations, and conformed to LIRR operating rules, policies, procedures, and labor agreements.
