Synertec Corporation Limited announced the award of a contract with Metro Trains Melbourne (MTM) and Rail Systems Alliance (RSA) to provide the advanced Control and Monitoring System (CMS) for the operation of Melbourne's new $11 billion Metro Tunnel Project. Highlights: Engagement with Metro Trains Melbourne (MTM) for the provision of services with an estimated price of circa $3 million if completed in full and completion date of December 2024, to deliver the Control and Monitoring System for the Metro Tunnel Project (MTP). The $11 billion-dollar MTP is a large infrastructure projects in Victoria. Synertec awarded contract for works to design and supply the Control and Monitoring System to allow the safe and reliable operation of the new Metro Tunnel. Synertec gaining strong rail industry reputation having already delivered several projects including critical safety systems on the existing underground rail loop. Clear validation of Synertec's strategic focus on delivering value to customers in projects and extensive programs of work, developing best-in-class automation technology and installing integrated control systems for critical infrastructure projects in highly regulated industries. Project Background: The Metro Tunnel Project will see the construction of two new tunnels and five underground station facilities. These facilities will be equipped with a number of automated control systems including a fire and smoke detection system, a tunnel ventilation system and a building management system to control the plant utilities equipment within the underground stations, tunnels and cross passages. Synertec's Engagement: Synertec's scope is to develop from concept to operations, the MTP Control and Monitoring System (CMS). The CMS provides the rail operators with critical operational interfaces to the tunnel, the stations and station plant and equipment located in various control rooms distributed throughout the tunnel system. Functions of the MTP CMS will include supervisory control and monitoring of all plant equipment, an advanced graphical user interface, alarm and event management, process data trending and reporting and historical data storage. Additionally, the CMS will integrate a number of systems including Rail Services Gateway (train positioning system), CCTV System, Security Systems, Platform Screen Doors, Electrical Systems, Building Management System, Tunnel Ventilation Control System and Fire Detection System. The key challenges of this project involve the seamless integration of the various systems contained throughout the rail tunnel network to support the reliable and safe operation of the train services. Synertec will leverage its extensive knowledge of advanced process control systems and Systems Engineering to deliver this critically important major infrastructure project for the benefit of Victoria's travelling public. This engagement, which is currently effective, provides for payments for services on an ongoing basis and if completed in full has a total estimated price of circa $3 million and completion of December 2024. This contract award continues to demonstrate Synertec's growing reputation for addressing complex challenges with innovative solutions and strengthens Synertec's long-standing commercial relationship with Metro Trains Melbourne.
