Project Overview
From September 2016 to July 2017, ECS delivered a major package of works for Balfour Beatty on the Crossrail MDA project, with a total value of approximately £1.5M. The scope involved supplying two dedicated switch installation teams, along with management, to plan and install a total of 102 switches across the route. These included a range of switch types such as Track Section Switches, Circuit Main Earth & Power Supply Switches, as well as both motorised and manually operated units.

The Process
ECS managed all aspects of the switch installation process, from the initial planning stages through to final installation and integration. The works demanded precise technical execution to ensure each switch type was correctly fitted and operational within the overall system. In addition, ECS deployed its internal resources to support wiring and registration activities, ensuring alignment with key project milestones. This team included engineers, construction managers, senior supervisors, and OLEC-competent staff.
