Installation and CommissioningRequirement
Installed around a working railway
Station systems have to be installed around a working railway, tested against the plan, and brought into service without disrupting passengers or operations.
TDM installs station systems from the foundations up: where a contract includes civil or electrical work, TDM delivers it within the same scope as the equipment, through to commissioning and Entry into Service.
Planning
Programmed station by station
TDM plans multi-station work as one programme, with stations sequenced by geography and changeovers phased so passenger information stays live. Where a principal contractor runs the wider programme, TDM’s work is fitted into it.
Each package of work has a Work Package Plan setting out the method, resources, access and handback. Where work runs on or near the line, access is arranged with Network Rail and a specialist track-access planner.
Preparation
Proven in Crawley before it goes to site
Equipment is configured and proven in TDM’s Crawley workshop before it goes to site. In a CCTV programme, video management systems, recorders and network equipment were built and tested in the workshop, which reduced the work carried out on the operational railway.
Site installation
Civils, electrics and mounting across many stations
Site work covers the civil engineering, electrical installation, cabling, cabinets and site-specific mounting each station needs, on multi-station programmes and within contractors’ construction programmes, where temporary SISS keeps cameras working through the works.
