We provide full lifecycle support for your automation projects, from consultancy and design, system manufacture, integration & testing, through to installation, commissioning and ongoing maintenance support.
Our comprehensive support of your safety, control and information projects ensures are all certified to the latest international standards for functional safety for rail and infrastructure.
If you’re looking for:
… you’re in the right place.
We’re ready to partner with you and help you expand and improve the resilience of your transport network.
We have worked on a number of complex LV Power, Station Systems, Depot Signaling & Control System projects within the following sub-sectors over the last two decades:
We design, implement, and maintain high-integrity infrastructure control systems, offering a range of solutions from upgrades and refurbishments to standalone subsystems and fully integrated turnkey systems.
Our services cover your entire plant, from the control room to field sensor devices.
The challenge
As part of a fully integrated supply chain, we as system integrator were charged with the design, build, installation, commissioning and support of an upgradable SCADA and control system which allowed for the continual expansion of the number of roads and testing tracks at the Beckton depot.
Our solution
We selected a flexible PLC architecture which allowed for the easy integration of additional depot roads, using functional blocks to ensure a consistently safe approach.
The RSSB compliant solution includes a backup system installed at Poplar. I/O was connected as far as the location boxes (LOCS) trackside and some in containerised REBs.
These are monitored via an IBA analyser on iconsys-designed SCADA terminals. Longwatch video recorders have been integrated for safety replays.
Results
We worked closely with the Tester in Charge to develop simulations for both Factory and Site Acceptance Tests, which ensured that the site phase was delivered to time and cost. Our engineering excellence has led to a long-standing relationship of decades on a number of upgrades and expansion projects.
Challenge
To design, build, install and commission a PLC and SCADA upgrade to existing traction power substations, ensuring design was able to be expanded in line with Midland Metro growth plans.
Our solution
Our in-house design team, reverse engineered the existing SCADA to the latest standards, ensuring all functionality was retained as we moved to standalone remote servers and the client stations. SCADA was also installed in each substation giving easy access to engineering functions and controls.
Our technology-agnostic solution enabled easy integration with existing ABB and Rockwell equipment, minimising costs whilst maximising interoperability.
Results
The switchover was seamless and did not impact the daily operation of the metro. The updated SCADA incorporates an improved alarms package, according to latest standards, resulting in less false alarms and lower operator workload.
We design, engineer, manufacture, install, commission and support Tunnel Infrastructure Control System solutions, including:
Safety is at the core of every project we work on within this and all other sectors.
