Invensys Rail has delivered the first critical phase of the Seremban to Gemas Double Tracking Project in time for planned commencement of the suburban passenger service to Sungai Gadut.
The project forms part of the Malaysian Government’s RM3.45 billion Seremban-Gemas double tracking and electrification project due for completion in December 2012.
Phase I included modification and extension of Seremban station, a new station and interlocking at Sungai Gadut and a 10km block section between stations which includes the halt of Senawang.
Despite a significant flash flooding occurrence in January 2011, Invensys Rail teams from Bangalore, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand rallied together with IRCON to commission the project on time.
Invensys Rail’s Regional Manager, Owen Clenick said:
“The dedication and tenacity of our international teams to deliver the project on time was second to none and shows the lengths that Invensys Rail will go to deliver on time for its customer”.
