The Challenge
This brownfield project involved the complex replacement of the entire signalling system of the Glasgow Subway while maintaining the existing infrastructure, with the goal of introducing a fully automated, driverless CBTC technology.
Our Contribution
On behalf of Hitachi, Te.Si.Fer. managed the complete installation engineering lifecycle, ensuring the seamless integration of all complex project subsystems.
Key activities included:
- Installation engineering for CBTC systems, including ATS, ATP, ATO and O&M subsystems.
- Subsystem coordination and compliance verification activities supporting system commissioning and handover.
- End-to-end project execution, from on-site surveys and data collection through detailed design to As-Built documentation.
Outcome
The project enabled the modernization of two railway loops, covering a total of 20 km and 15 stations, supporting the transition to a state-of-the-art, fully automated metro system capable of safely operating the new rolling stock fleet.
