On behalf of Sydney Trains, SYSTRA will be focusing on the Remote Switching part
of EIIP fulfilling a highly specialised service. As part of the project scope,
SYSTRA will design, type approve, and construct and commission the integrated
remote switching system.

The Remote Switching capability has been developed to address two key
challenges. First is to accommodate a safer and more productive maintenance
schedule for rail corridor assets to maintain safe operation. The second is to
reduce the impact on commuters if a power outage is required in case of an
emergency.

The project aims to deliver safer and more improved electrical power outages on
the 1500V Overhead Wiring and High Voltage networks. More specifically, the
project will deliver benefits such as: 

- reducing the need for people to be in the danger zone and exposed to hazards 
- maximising possession time and reducing isolation time 
- improving emergency responses to incidents, by decreasing the time taken to
  isolate/reinstate 
- This project will commence with an off-system trial.
