March 2023 –
Alstom, global leader in smart and sustainable mobility, and Hong
Kong’s MTR Corporation formally launched the implementation of the
contract for the supply of signalling system for the Lantau
Extension project, comprising the Airport Express Line, the Tung
Chung Line and the Siu Ho Wan Depot.
Alstom’s responsibility1 includes the design,
engineering, supply, integration, testing and commissioning of the
LAR Extension’s signalling system using its proven SACEM (Système
d’Aide à la Conduite, à l’Exploitation et à la Maintenance)
automatic train control (ATC) solution and the Smartlock 400
interlocking technology. Its Chinese joint venture, CASCO Signal
Ltd2, will supply the automatic train supervision (ATS) sub-system
for the project. To enhance the protection of the line extension’s
signalling and train control systems, Alstom will set up a digital
twin to simulate and thoroughly test the new signalling system, as
well as integrate advanced rail cybersecurity measures.
Additionally, HealthHub, Alstom’s digital solution for
condition-based and predictive maintenance, will be deployed to
continuously monitor the state of point machines to maximise
reliability and availability, while optimising lifecycle costs.
“Today, six metro lines running in Hong Kong are
equipped with Alstom’s signalling systems. We are pleased to mark
the longstanding partnership of over four decades with MTR with
this new win, proving our strong capability to cater to the Hong
Kong market. Through this project, Alstom demonstrates our capacity
and expertise to maintain and extend rail solutions’ lifespan,
integrating advanced solutions like cybersecurity and predictive
maintenance for a more sustainable transport system,” said Toby
Tiberghien, Managing Director of East Asia at Alstom.
This project is one of the railway expansion
projects under way in Hong Kong to boldly extend the reach of its
network. It involves the extension of the existing Tung Chung Line
from Tung Chung station westwards with a new station in Tung Chung
West, and the addition of two new stations at Tung Chung East new
reclamation area between Sunny Bay and Tung Chung stations. Upon
completion by 2030, the Lantau Extension project will greatly
improve the connectivity of the neighbouring communities,
facilitating residents to travel between Lantau Island and the
urban areas by railway direct.
Alstom has been contributing to the development
of railway systems in Hong Kong for more than 40 years. Since the
first metro project in Hong Kong in 1975, Alstom has supplied over
1,100 metro cars to MTR and equipped six lines with signalling
systems. In December 2016, Alstom successfully delivered Hong
Kong’s first high-capacity driverless metro line – the Hong Kong
South Island Line East with its signalling system, track works,
overhead line infrastructure, traction and train control management
system. In November 2022, the first of 93 new eight-car train
installed with Alstom’s SACEM ATC system and equipment carried its
first passengers on the Kwun Tong Line.
