Tender Details

Backgrounda Key Component Of The Public Transport Authority?S (Pta?S) Electrified Network Is The Pantograph Interacting With The Overhead Lines To Supply Electricity To The Rolling Stock. To Meet The Current And Future Passenger Requirements The Pantograph Must Operate Smoothly And Remain In Contact Without Excessive Wear Or Chipping. This Wear And Chipping Can Be Caused By Foreign Objects Intruding On The Overhead Line Equipment (Ole) (I.E., Vegetation, Stray Umbrellas Etc.)

The Identification Of These Defects Often Requires Someone To Spend Many Hours Reviewing Low Resolution Video Footage And Walking The Track. Consequently, Defects Are Extremely Difficult To Pinpoint And Often Unable To Be Found And Fixed.
