Caledonia Rail Depot

The client

Akona was contracted to complete the 25kV recommissioning works for the traction power system at Caledonia Rail Depot. Delivered within tight timescales, the project involved OLE and HV repair works, including the replacement of non-compliant components ahead of commissioning.
This project demonstrated our ability to provide multidisciplinary solutions tailored to client needs under strict deadlines. The rail depot is now fully operational, enabling electric units to be repaired and tested using the 25kV supply. We continue to provide the client with routine system maintenance, showcasing our agility and commitment to meeting their needs.

The task

Akona Concepts was contracted to undertake the recommissioning of the 25kV power supply and overhead line system associated with the train care depot for client Brodie Engineering. 

The solution

The work involved high-level intrusive surveys of the OLE system, including maintenance, adjustments, and replacement of component parts. We also performed maintenance checks on the HV and LV power supply transformers and switches, and conducted necessary cable tests to enable the system to be section-proved and brought back into service.

The result

 

 

 

All works were successfully completed on time and to budget for our client resulting in further maintenance support services being supplied. The 25kV train care depot is now operational for rolling stock.

Summary

 

 

 

 

 

Akona Concepts continued to work with client carrying out maintenance works on a rolling programme.
