Bombardier Transportation has received a $70 million US order from the State Railway of Thailand to supply and install an INTERFLO* solution, consisting of EBI* Lock 950 computer-based interlocking systems, wayside equipment and associated communication systems on all four new routes into and out of Bangkok. The four mainline routes are the Northern, North Eastern, Southern and Eastern and cover, in three projects, a total of 174km of double and triple track and 33 stations.
Javier Rión, President of Rail Control Solutions, Bombardier Transportation said: “One of Bombardier’s main signalling engineering and product development centres is located in Bangkok, where some 80 highly trained engineers work in close co-operation with our other engineering teams around the world to provide the highest quality and most updated signalling products.” He added: “This new order reflects the international market’s confidence in our systems and reinforces our position in Thailand.”
Bombardier’s EBI Lock has been a leading computer-based interlocking technology in the market since 1978 when it was first installed in Sweden. Still in operation today, 25 years later, this system meets the highest reliability, safety and efficiency levels.
