Business Profile
project: • From a technical perspective we will be interfacing into a variety of existing field-based equipment, pieces that utilise legacy proprietary protocols. To avoid any compatibility issues, telent is developing its own set of analysers and simulators to ensure its new system is proven to be compatible, and will be conducting thorough testing and validation exercises before the system goes into operation.
• Gaining universal acceptance for a single system, which is also introducing a new way of working. By ensuring that telent collaborates throughout all phases of the project, but particularly in design and that it then delivers an exceptional system.
Why do you think Network Rail chose telent for such a large scale project?
Our approach offered Network Rail a cost-effective and efficient solution that meets all of NR’s current requirements, and provides it with the flexibility to develop and expand its system in the future.
The team has extensive SCADA experience from a variety of backgrounds including manufacturing, power networks as well as transportation,
including rail. Looking ahead, we see the specialist
SCADA team being able to deliver projects to the other areas that telent currently supplies into, including the emergency services, traffic and telecommunications sectors. Steve Pears, managing director of
telent’s Rail business said: ‘We are delighted that Network Rail has chosen telent to provide such an important part of its national electrification programme. This contract is a great opportunity for the company to demonstrate its extensive technology and telecommunications expertise, in partnership with the Network Rail team. We pride ourselves on delivering safe, reliable and cost-effective solutions. This ethos, coupled with our innovative design and delivery skills will provide the optimum solution to meet Network Rail’s requirements.’ Paul Hodgson added: ‘I have been working with telent since 2012 anticipating involvement in the Network Rail SCADA tender. The team has developed a ‘total solution’ approach in which I have complete confidence in telent delivering.’ Network Rail’s Saleem Mohammad, responsible for the national delivery of the SCADA project said: ‘This project will deliver a single electrical control system
at nine of our twelve ROC’s replacing the old and inefficient equipment we currently use. By managing our electrical power in a much more flexible and efficient way we will support the future expansion of our electrification network in CP5 and beyond. This will help us to increase capacity and improve journeys, while reducing costs and carbon emissions. I look forward to working closely with telent to deliver this important and challenging national project.’
