The RSSI’s Rail Projects division led the DIRFT project to help install a new system for controlling point movements. To feed the cables for this system, the client needed 28 cable management sleepers installed.
The main challenge faced by the client was that they required additional cable runs for the new system, which was affecting their ability to complete the work. RSSI provided a solution for this by arranging all the access necessary for installing the sleepers. The team comprised of various members including Site Supervision, COSS, TCM, Track Ops, and Handback personnel. We also supplied a CC with RRV.
One significant challenge faced during the delivery of the solution was ensuring no train delays while working alongside the freight terminal. Despite this, RSSI was able to deliver on time and on budget by implementing efficient protection methods and innovative strategies. The RSSI team’s effective communication and coordination with the freight terminal team ensured minimal disruption to operations.
By the end of the ten-day project, RSSI had successfully installed all the required cable management sleepers, enabling the client to move forward with their point control system installation and restore full productivity.
