HITACHI
COLCHESTER PSB BUILD 41
Project Description
Following a successful proof-of-concept demonstration in 2023, Hitachi were contracted by Network Rail to deliver an upgraded TREsa ARS system at Colchester PSB, in a first of its kind roll-out. This flagship deployment significantly enhances Automatic Route Setting and Traffic Management capabilities, marking a major milestone for the new system.
Our Role
Corlow Rail were engaged by Hitachi to provide the Signalling Design, Installation & Test of hardware alterations at Colchester PSB. The works affected 2 cubicles within the equipment floor - where several items of equipment were renewed and new equipment installed to facilitate the upgrades. As this was a first of its kind it presented unique challenges which were overcome by close collaboration with the client and our supply chain. As Hitachi do not have in-house install and test competencies, we were able to utilise our own supply chain and seemlessly provide these services with a single interface via Corlow Rail.
Outcome
Successful commissioning with the TREsa ARS System handed back early.
Due to the success and seamless delivery, repeat work of a similar nature has been awarded to Corlow Rail.
Preferred supplier to Hitachi.
