including sanding and sandite applications, interior upgrade and refresh including of conversion and modernisation of vehicle interiors. The practical engineering skills of Transys Projects’ engineers and designers is key and derives from the engineering heritage of the business. A well-structured business document management system allows the team to access historical design information and research engineering solutions, provides credibility and secures quality assurance accreditation to ISO standards. The principal systems in rail rolling stock are: Traction, both electric traction and diesel motive power; Braking systems, bogies and rail to wheel interface; Air Conditioning, heating and ventilation; Control, communications and electronic technology (CCTV, PIS, Data Telemetry); and Interior systems and mechanical structures.
The skill required for engineers and designers when designing new vehicles or incorporating new systems onto existing vehicles is that of systems integration.
Transys Projects’ engineers and designers have considerable practical and design experience and have worked on the majority of existing UK multiple units. The organisation has a vast pool of existing vehicle and system knowledge. This knowledge, together with our co-operation with system and equipment suppliers, enables us to facilitate the integration of new systems and equipment into existing and new designs, whilst taking note of the certification and acceptance criteria prevalent in the UK rail industry.
Transys Projects are looking forward to meeting the challenges of the rail industry by adopting a practical approach and providing engineering solutions in order to support both the introduction of new rolling stock technologies and to address the challenges of earlier generation vehicles.
