Cambridge South Signal Sighting Infrastructure Project

We were proud to be working alongside North South Rail, Murphy & Alstom assisting with their Signal Sighting requirements for the new railway station being built by Network Rail for Cambridge South.

TrueSight™ PROJECT

Overview

Cambridge is one of the UK’s most successful and fastest growing cities. The new station will connect the Cambridge Biomedical Campus with potential destinations such as central London, London Stansted Airport & Birmingham. The station will be managed and served by Greater Anglia, with other existing train operators expected to call at the new station.

Sustainable Rail Transport

The station will also provide access to a growing area of high-quality employment and help relieve congestion in the local area by supporting the development of environmentally sustainable transport in Cambridge..

East West Rail

It is also anticipated that in the future, East West Rail services from Bedford to Cambridge could also serve the new station.

Our Role

We achieved successful facilitation of the Signal Sighting Process for the Cambridge South Infrastructure Enhancements Project, achieving full sign-off of all sighting forms. We achieved this by creating a 5km virtual world integrating local GIS data with all the clients project BIM data (including intelligent PWay infrastructure with interactive "physically correct" S&C and client 3D design models).

Leveraging TrueSight™

Leveraging our TrueSight™ platform, we positioned circa 80 signalling assets as fully intelligent, interactive objects within minutes. TrueSight™ powerful photorealism bridges the gap between the virtual and the real world, fostering trust and confidence amongst all internal project personnel and external stakeholders. This not only accelerates stakeholder buy-in but significantly reduces the need for on-site presence, aligning perfectly with Network Rail's MVP policy for safer and more efficient operations.

BIM to TrueSight™

Our BIM to TrueSight™ software transformed the complex CAD data from this project into a realistic, accessible, VR model with detailed life-like images. All of which highlighted the precision & complexities of the project without compromising on engineering accuracy. We also significantly reduced project timescales, avoiding any rework whilst generating substantial cost savings.
