Project : Croydon Tramlink System

Client : Tramtrack Croydon Limited

Mowlem Rail has successfully won the 3 year renewable Infrastructure Maintenance Contract to carry out the Maintenance on the Croydon Tramlink system running from the centre of Croydon and radiating out to Wimbledon, Beckenham Junction and New Addington. The system consists of 28km of track with 38 Tram Stops and depot.

Key aspects of the contract are:

• Routine Inspections – track, overhead line, tramstop equipment etc.
• Planned Maintenance – periodic maintenance to points, section insulators, tramstop equipment, communications equipment etc.
• Reactive Maintenance – work arising from routine inspections, breakdowns and faults on the system.

Croydon Tramway System was opened to the public in autumn 1999 and operates all year round with the only exception being Christmas day.

The network interchanges with mainline railway services at Wimbledon, Mitcham Junction, West Croydon, East Croydon, Elmers End and Beckenham Junction.

The Trams are fed via the 750v DC system of overhead line equipment throughout the entire network.

Mowlem Railways will be operating in a close partnership with the client TCL the to maximise the key objective of maintaining the system on a planned routine maintenance schedule. And with Mowlem Railways expertise we will also identify any additional defects throughout the system and initiate a fast response reactive maintenance regime in addition to emergency call outs for a variety of problems.
