PB Design Supply £400,000 Package for Hong Kong Airport Rail Link
PB Design has recently supplied Alstom Drives and
Controls with a £400,000 package of 110V constant voltage battery
chargers - complete with alarm, monitoring, distribution and nickel
cadmium battery cells - for a major project on the Hong Kong Mass
Transit Railway System.
Opened at the end of 1998 the new Hong Kong airport
railway off the coast of Lantau island has taken five years to
construct. Built for the Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway Corporation,
the airport railway links Hong Kong Central and Kowloon with the new
Chek Lap Kok airport. The Link incorporates the now famous landmark,
Tsing Ma Bridge - the world's largest road and rail suspension bridge
and the first to provide a truly all-weather crossing. Both Tsing Ma
and its smaller, cable-stayed neighbour Kap Shui Mun Bridge carry the
main highway on their top deck, while their sheltered lower level
houses the railway plus two road lanes for use when the upper deck has
to be closed in high winds.
PB Design's battery chargers are designed and
manufactured to meet all the relevant British and International
standards. Units can be floor standing or wall mounted and cover a
voltage range from 12 to 220 volt DC output. The equipment utilises the
company's 1500 range of constant voltage transformers, complete with
digital Series 90 control system.
Following the success of this installation, a further order has been placed for similar equipment for the next phase.
