Electrical Substations and Track Circuits
Client: KiwiRail
Impact had a key role in preparing Wellington’s rail infrastructure for the introduction of a new train fleet in 2010 – a $550 million project that included double-tracking and electrifying the North Island Main Trunk line, extending the reach of the metro rail network to double its capacity, and installing a third, bidirectional train line at the entrance to Wellington Station to handle the increased train traffic.
In this massive two-year programme we project managed the construction of 11 new substations (in a very tight 10-month timeframe) and administered the contract for the track circuits programme.
