BAC Switchboard Selector
A guided selector for specifying new BAC-compliant LV switchboards — walk the BAC Airport Design Guidelines as a set of questions, get a clause-cited draft specification out the other end. Companion project to the BAC LV Audit System, for the same client (Brisbane Airport) and switchboard fleet.
The pipeline
From the project brainstorm — sb-selector-brain-storm.docx /

The source documents
The BAC Airport Guidelines library, held in full and readable here — clause by clause, with the issued PDF alongside where we hold it. Every citation elsewhere in the app links back into this tab at the exact clause it came from.
Specifying a switchboard — the six documents the requirements model is built on.
The rest of the library — carried for reference. Nothing in the model cites these, but a project will reach for them.
Registry — what we hold and what we do not
A citation is only as good as the document behind it. This records which sources are available to check against, and which are not.
Summarised BAC Guidelines
The requirements the BAC guidelines place on a switchboard, sectioned, each carrying the clause it came from. Click any citation to read that clause in the source. Every item shows the result of checking it against that source.
Open questions
Points the source documents do not settle. These go to BAC as RFIs — they are not for the tool to decide.
Selector
Walk the Airport Design Guidelines as a set of questions and get a clause-cited draft specification. Where the board replaces one that has been audited, pre-fill reads that board's record and maps it onto the questions below. Reaching the Specification step files the draft under Document outputs.
Document outputs
Every time the Selector reaches its Specification step, the resulting spec lands here as a Draft. Mark it Finalised once an engineer has checked it over — same draft-until- confirmed pattern as the LV Audit System's report review gate.
Checklist
What to verify on a manufactured board before it is accepted. Generated from the Summarised Guidelines, so it cannot drift from them — and deliberately narrower: only requirements you can actually confirm by looking at the finished board. Design decisions, BAC submissions and project-stage gates are requirements too, but they are not checked here.
