 1988 - Nov - Thornely - Adelaide Signalling Project - A Practical Application of S.S.I. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I.K. ThornelyM.L. Engineering (Adelaide)During 1986, M.L. Engineering in Joint Venture with local company O'Donnell Griffin, were awarded the contract for Australia's first and at the time the world's largest S.S.I. project. The design and supply of the S.S.I. equipment was sub-contracted to Westinghouse Signals Limited of Chippenham. U.K. The cost of our S.S.I. option for this project was almost the same as our price for the conventional signalling option although the provision of additional and new spares increased the total package by approximately $300,000. This additional cost in itself was insignigicant when one realises the savings S.T.A. were able to make in other areas, namely relay rooms and the control centre. With the above in mind, the STA opted for the S.S.I. option for their 100 project. |
