OVERVIEW

PROJECT BY NUMBERS

As part of the Victoria Area Re-signalling Programme, Kent Group was appointed by Siemens Mobility to deliver specialist signalling power infrastructure works in support of one of the UK's largest railway modernisation programmes.

Delivered over a 2.5-year period, our scope focused on the design integration, manufacture, installation and commissioning of critical signalling power assets across multiple operational locations within the Victoria route.

Working collaboratively as part of Siemens Mobility's wider delivery team, Kent Group provided the specialist electrical engineering expertise required to successfully integrate new Principal Supply Points (PSPs), Functional Supply Points (FSPs), DNO supplies and associated signalling power infrastructure into a live operational railway. Through careful planning, close collaboration and disciplined delivery, the project enhanced network resilience while supporting the successful delivery of the wider Victoria Re-signalling Programme.

THE SOLUTION

Kent Group delivered a comprehensive signalling power solution comprising four new Principal Supply Points, six new DNO supplies, twenty-four Functional Supply Points, new 650V feeder arrangements and approximately seven kilometres of signalling power cabling. The programme also incorporated Auto Reconfiguration equipment and Power Management Systems (PMS/SCADA), providing enhanced monitoring, operational flexibility and resilience while creating capacity for future expansion.

"Successful rail infrastructure programmes are built on strong partnerships.

Victoria Re-signalling Phase 3 is a great example of how specialist expertise, close collaboration and a shared commitment to delivery can achieve outstanding results. Working alongside Siemens Mobility, we were able to provide the signalling power expertise needed to support this important programme, helping to deliver infrastructure that will improve the resilience and performance of the railway for years to come.

I'd like to thank Siemens Mobility and Network Rail for the collaborative approach taken throughout the project, which was fundamental to its success."
