SNC-Lavalin has been awarded two design contracts for London Underground. The services provided by SNC-Lavalin’s Rail & Transit team will assist London Underground in improving rail vehicle accessibility for persons with reduced mobility and visual impairments.
SNC-Lavalin’s design modifications will help to improve the customer experience, with new up to date passenger information systems (PIS), passenger emergency alarms (PEA), closed-circuit television (CCTV) and improved lighting for each vehicle, as well as designated wheelchair and pushchair zones.
The contracts cover the 72TS fleet (Bakerloo Line, seven car train, 36 train fleet), 92TS fleet (Central Line, eight car train, 85 train fleet) and 92TS fleet (Waterloo & City Line, four car train, five train fleet). The internal space within these three fleets will be reconfigured by SNC-Lavalin’s specialist engineering teams.
The upgrades will extend the lifespan of the fleets, providing long term cost savings for London Underground, as well as reducing the environmental impact compared with replacing the vehicles.
