The Company and Project
TBA - Providing control panels to help keep Paris moving

TBA provides integrated software to simplify the operations of ports, terminals and warehouses around the world. With
a rich heritage in design and engineering, they work across a range of industries from food manufacturing and waste
recycling to test systems and tunnelling.

Bensons has worked with TBA since 2013, building a wide range of bespoke control panels. These incorporate various Form
4 Motor Control Centres (MCCs) installed in the UK and around the world, including several control panels for TBA’s ports
and crane systems. Many of these panels have been installed into containers, allowing them to be easily delivered,
commissioned and set to work on site.

The Challenge
Bespoke panels in an air conditioned and water tight
environment, to tight deadlines.
In 2018 TBA began a new project to provide systems to control
tunnelling and conveyor systems for use in the Paris Metro
system.
The project required the design and build of two containerised
Form 4 MCCs. The nature of the project meant there were
extremely tight deadlines.

Each 6mt container would house a bespoke Form 4 MCC in a fully
air-conditioned environment. In addition, each container required
electrical power and lighting. A further constraint was that, in
order to prevent water ingress, the walls and ceilings of the
container could not be penetrated.
For TBA, the success of the build was particularly important as it would
place them in a strong position to win substantial follow-on work in
further extensions of the Paris Metro system.
