Two companies get green light for world’s largest signalling project worth A$1.6bn Engineering and construction firm DT Infrastructure and rolling stock and signalling specialist Alstom have won an A$1 billion (US$1.1 billion) deal to replace the existing signalling and train control systems in #Perth, #WesternAustralia. It will be the world’s longest signalling project by route length and will feature Alstom’s Urbalis Communications-based Train Control (#CBTC) #technology installed by DT Infrastructure’s local workforce under a contract for the Public Transport Authority of Western Australia (PTA). Once completed, the project will provide Perth with a 40% increase in network capacity. The High Capacity Signalling project is part of the Metronet programme and secures 750 local jobs in Western Australia with a range of global Alstom and DT Infrastructure experts deploying internationally to Perth for the project. DT Infrastructure chief executive officer, Darren Crichton said, “With several Metronet projects nearing completion, Perth’s upgraded rail network means residents and visitors are more connected than ever before. The High Capacity Signalling program will ensure that this capability is fully utilised, running more trains more often. We’re delighted to be working with Alstom to deliver this remarkable project, drawing on our extensive experience optimising and delivering improvements to passenger rail networks across Australia.” https://lnkd.in/eGVdUYiJ

If you are aware of the LUL PPP’s the name Metronet is unfortunate. All the same the investment in Rail world wide is going to stand future generations in good stead for when car use reduces to enable zero carbon emissions.

I remember working with Alsom first in Sydney back in 2016. It was a good crew they had. Some impressive work at the Depot in Rouse Hill. 👍🏼. This will be a great improvement for Perth 🙌
