Atkins Awarded Two Major Contracts

Network Rail has awarded Atkins the signalling and power and distribution contracts for the Cardiff Area Signalling Renewal (CASR) project.

The contracts, which will be delivered by 2015, have a revenue for Atkins of £64 million and are a key part of Network Rail’s investment to upgrade the signalling in the Cardiff and wider south Wales area.

Under the two contracts, Atkins will design, manage and implement the replacement of life-expired signalling and associated power and distribution equipment across 192 route miles of track between Newport and Port Talbot, covering the Vale of Glamorgan and Valleys areas.

Prof Dr Uwe Krueger, Atkins' Chief Executive Officer, said: "This is another important success for our UK business and is a further sign of Network Rail’s confidence in our rail team to help deliver high-profile and technically-complex signalling contracts.

"The signalling upgrade is fundamental to achieving the increased capacity and service improvements to meet demands in south Wales. We understand the engineering challenges a project of this nature poses and have mobilised the resources to provide the multidiscipline teams needed to overcome them and help Network Rail to grow and enhance this vital part of the country’s infrastructure."

The Cardiff area signalling renewal contracts follows an announcement earlier in the year that Atkins had been awarded two major signalling project frameworks for Sussex/Wessex and Kent/Anglia, worth in excess of £400m over a seven year period. Network Rail also confirmed in June that Atkins was a strategic partner for its new consulting business to pursue opportunities in international markets.
