AtkinsRealis Gets $132 million Contract to Upgrade Rail Signalling in Southern England

Dow Jones03-24

By Robb M. Stewart

AtkinsRealis landed a roughly 98 million pounds ($131.6 million) contract to upgrade signalling and telecommunications in southern England rail infrastructure owner Network Rail.

The Canadian engineering company said it will act as principal contractor and designer over three years to deliver full end-to-end design, project management and construction services to upgrade 43 kilometers of railway near Portsmouth.

The project will replace obsolete systems, improving reliability and performance with a target to significantly reduce signalling-related delays.

The Wessex route connects London with Portsmouth and Southampton, two of England's major ports and industrial centres. The route is part of South Western Railway & Network Rail Wessex's 2 billion pounds investment program to modernize the railway across the South West into London between 2024 and 2029.

AtkinsRealis said that as part of the upgrade it will deploy its advanced signalling method, the first rail systems integration product of its kind to gain formal product approval from Network Rail.

The company has previously delivered improvements to the area's signalling through its role in the Southern Integrated Delivery program, as well as the 375 million pounds Feltham & Wokingham signalling upgrade in Southwest London.
