Conceptual Design Optimisation
Typically 80% of life cycle costs are determined by the Conceptual Design demonstrating the importance of getting it right. For London Underground we have optimised the conceptual design for Line Upgrades reducing costs by approximately £200m per line. Our models and processes can be applied to almost any project large or small.

We evaluate and optimise the system-wide trade-offs of whole-life Costs and Benefits for all the involved parties, and the over all energy efficiency. Having identified the optimal design we can project manage implementation.
Our analysis answers questions such as:
- What is the optimal train design?
- What is the optimal train power?
- What is the optimised power solution – for a new line or to support the introduction of new rolling stock?
- How should Automatic Train Regulation systems work in terms of service capacity, recovery and energy efficiency
- What speeds should I operate at?
- How should I manage my assets
