The project was the first phase in the Malaysian Government long-term strategy to upgrade and electrify the main line running from Singapore to the Thai border.
The majority of OCS installations were completed in a 18 month period.
Approximately 2,500,000 man/hours were worked without any serious or reportable accident occurring and contributed to the awarding to Balfour Beatty Rail of the Malaysian Prime Minister National Award fro Occupational Health and Safety in 2006.
The project was completed in November 2007 and Balfour Beatty Rail has subsequently provided maintenance and training assistance to the operator. |
