Two major milestones have been achieved at Brixton.  The first was the NOWRI (Notification of Works Ready for Inspection) and BIU (Bringing Into Use) of the new station Communications Equipment Room (CER) located on the roof of the building, and the Station Operations Room (SOR) located in the booking hall area.  These two rooms are the operational centres of any station, and therefore are critical areas requiring specialist electrical equipment to ensure the station can function, even in the event of a total supply failure.

 

BML have installed, tested and commissioned the UPS System for the dedicated circuits in the SOR and an auto change-over system for the continuous running of the CER equipment on the roof.  This is achieved by building new switchrooms and installing switchpanels, installing new steel wired armoured cabling on tray distribution boards; and finally the installation of sub-circuits to the relevant equipment.

 

The second milestone was BML’s achievement of the NOWRI and BIU of the platform lighting at Brixton Station.  The inspection was carried out on the CMS system and cabling to the Nyphan outlets – in addition, the IP rating of the fittings was inspected, and Lux levels taken.  The new Selux lighting system is now on a 48 hour fault free test, and once this is achieved, the removal of the existing Church House System can commence.
