Feltham Resignalling Phase 5 – GRIP 6-8 Signalling Installation

CLIENT: AtkinsRéalis
DATE: Jul 2024
LOCATION: Feltham

Following several months of efficient planning and effective delivery, Global Rail Construction Limited (GRCL) has successfully completed Feltham Resignalling Phase 5, Works Package 1a, covering Signalling Installations, on behalf of partner AtkinsRéalis for Network Rail Wessex Capital Delivery.

Feltham Phase 5 consisted of 3No interlocking areas, with 3No fringes to adjacent signalling control centres, and the renewal of 2No level crossings. The overall programme of Feltham & Wokingham re-signalling project covers 1 8-year, five phase renewal of all signalling assets controlled from Feltham Area Signalling Centre (ASC) and Wokingham Signal Box (SB). The project will renew 9No Route Relay Interlockings (RRIs) with new centralised ElectroLogIXS Computer Based Interlocking (CBI) controlled from Basingstoke Rail Operations Centre (ROC), transferring control from the existing Feltham Area Signalling Centre (ASC), and renewing all existing lineside signalling infrastructure and remote interlockings with centralised interlockings from the new ROC.

GRCL’s significant rail systems sub-contract encompassed the installation, termination and testing of new lineside equipment including cabling, Location Case suites, AWS, TPWS, and the existing train detection system replaced with Frauscher Advanced Counter (FAdC) Axle Counter system and the subsequent recovery of all the old assets. The 2No electrically controlled Level Crossings were renewed to interface to the new ElectroLogIXS lineside equipment, replacing all Barrier Booms, Barrier Machines, Road Traffic Lights (RTL’s) to an LED type. New electrical Principal Supply Point (PSP’s) were also provided at Winnersh Triangle, and new Auxiliary Supply Points (ASP) were provided at Earley and Crowthorne. The PSP, ASPs and Functional Supply Points (FSPs) were implemented as a Class II based system managed by the Camlin Signet Auto Reconfigurable system.

Our collaborative delivery and high-quality workmanship enabled an incredible result, working on some the busiest lines in the Southern region. Through a safe and solutions-based approach during this project, our signalling and power experts supported timely culmination and the successful commissioning of this newly signalled area.
