People wait undeground for a train to arrive.

PAST PROJECTS

We are proud to take on a diverse range of projects both locally, nationally, and internationally. No two mass transit systems are the same, so we are continuously challenged to think both creatively and critically.

We never lose sight of the people who will be impacted by the mass transit systems we work on— whether it’s our clients, members of the public, or transit employees. It is our job as rail transit engineering consultants to create and optimize systems that enhance mobility, perform optimally, and maximize feasibility.

The projects listed below demonstrate our commitment to providing forward-thinking transit engineering services that satisfy end-user requirements and uphold our strict standards of excellence.

OUR WORK

Surrey Langley Skytrain Extension

OPERATIONS AND SYSTEMS CONSULTING

The Surrey Langley Skytrain extension aimed to add 16 kilometres on an elevated guideway from King George SkyTrain Station to Langley City Centre along Fraser Highway.

Providing CAPEX and OPEX costing for business case
Developing procurement documents for RFQ and RFP
Representing the City as part of the owner’s engineering team
Developing the RFQ and RFP technical and procurement documents for the purchase of 40 new light rail vehicles
Participating member of the procurement and evaluation team

Melbourne Metro Rail

CONCEPT DESIGN

The Melbourne Metro Rail is a proposed 9km-long tunnel within Melbourne, Australia, connecting the Sunbury and Dandenong railway route.

TSR Engineering offered the following transit engineering services in relation to this project:

CBTC technical input for the concept design
Producing concept design including routing and run time optimization, speed zone analysis, signal design including safe braking distance analysis and headway optimization, rolling stock analysis incorporating vehicle dynamics optimization, TPC and vehicle requirements development, statistical analysis including dwell time variability, system recoverability/conflict resolution and driver performance sensitivity
Utilizing OpenTrack and other key software in the analysis
Developing CAPEX costing for business cases
Developing procurement documentation and participating in tender evaluations

Japan Rail East

CBTC RETROFIT

Provided operational, technical, and migration planning assistance for the bid phase, to a multinational signalling supplier, of the potential CBTC retrofit of the Joban line. This is a 30km existing above grade passenger metro system.
