CASE STUDY – LNE SIGNALLING POWER DISTRIBUTION RENEWALS
Client – Network Rail Infrastructure
Location – Doncaster to Scunthorpe, UK
Duration – 3 Years
​​
​
SCOPE OF WORKS
​​
The overall project forms part of Network Rail’s CP6 programme for Electrification & Plant on the LNE route and consists of the renewal of the Signalling Power Distribution System on a line of route approximately 44km in length.
​
The project aims to renew the Signalling Power Distribution System for the routes between Foreign Ore and Doncaster. This renewal will maintain the asset's availability to enable the continuation of route operations throughout the life of the new assets.
​
As a result of these works, there will be significant safety and performance benefits including:
​
-
Existing assets not compliant with BS7671 and the Electricity at Work Regulations will be brought into compliance.
​
-
Enhanced power supply reliability, upgraded and enhanced cabling and route.
​
-
A dual-end feeding arrangement, together with a backup generator and UPS will improve asset availability and reliability.
​
-
Removal of 650V power from existing Location cases to increase spatial capacity for further signalling growth
