TBA
Providing control panels to help keep Paris moving
The Challenge
In 2018 TBA began a new project to provide systems to control tunnelling and conveyor systems for use in the Paris Metro system. TBA turned to Bensons for the build of the control panel systems.
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 6m 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.
The Result
The two initial containerised MCCs were completed and delivered on time and to budget.
By achieving the aggressive project timescales, TBA and Bensons were successful in delivering a key element of the Parisian Metro extension programme. As a result of this, TBA won a significant tranche of work associated with the broader programme of work.
This resulted in eight containerised systems and over one hundred ancillary panels being built and delivered between July 2019 and February 2020, with each milestone delivery being completed on time and in full.
By working closely with our network of suppliers throughout this process, Bensons was able to optimise its fit out and build process. This made it possible to produce a system in an eight- week period from receipt of instruction to proceed.
