Whole Life Solutions from LCS

LCS are committed to satisfying ‘Whole Life Cost Effective Solutions’ for the Railways. The Product range is designed to provide low maintenance, cost effective, long life solutions for the Railway Isolation & Bonding requirements.

These products aim to speed up the isolation and bonding to enable maintenance and renewal work to be carried out in over night possessions. Quick and secure bonding enables work to start promptly after the last train movements of the day and allows the possession to run closer to the resumption of train operations the next day.

 

L.C. Switchgear have the reputation for high quality reliable products which enable railways to operate more efficiently and safely.

 

These products can provide cost savings where for example the duration of a  track possession for routine maintenance can be increased by ensuring quicker safe access to the track and reduced time required to re-instate the power at the end of the works.

The low maintenance requirements provide life cost savings, throughout the long service life of the products.
