Mainline Rail Stations Load Monitoring

Electrical Load Monitoring of LV Power Plants at Mainline Rail Stations

With over twenty years of working in the rail industry, MacNaughton has the experience to provide various levels of support ranging from basic technical advice and guidance on industry sector standards to providing extensive assistance with major projects.

MacNaughton needed to research energy use at stations including Cadoxton, Marylebone, Milton Keynes, Northampton and Watford Junction. Load Monitoring is essential for forward planning as it allows MacNaughton to assess energy use at different times of the day and gives data insights into passenger flows through each station and when this hits a peak.

One Way was contracted to monitor LV power for seven days and to provide a detailed analysis of the findings. A breakdown of the project included:

• Inclusive hire of 2 data analysers
• Connection and disconnection of the equipment onto the live electrical systems
• Issue of detailed reports for each location monitored

Client Feedback

“We were looking for a company who could demonstrate that they were reliable, responsive and competitive on cost. One Way responded promptly, answered all our questions clearly and told us that they had the capability to be on site within seven days. One Way ticked all the right boxes.

They offered the right service at the correct price. Once on site, One Way did everything they said they would. They offered an excellent service and were always on time. A bonus was they always turned up early and ready to start.”
