Project: MTM Driver Facilities – Electrical & OCS

Design and Construction of Electrical and OCS Upgrades for Train Driver Facilities Across Four Key Stations

As part of the Metro Tunnel Project, Metro Trains Melbourne engaged Everon Infrastructure to design and deliver electrical and OCS upgrades for new and improved train driver facilities across Footscray, Watergardens, Dandenong and Westall stations, supporting increased operational capacity across Melbourne’s metropolitan rail network.

Everon Infrastructure delivered electrical and OCS upgrades at Footscray, Watergardens, Dandenong and Westall stations to support MTM’s expanding workforce requirements. Completed within live station environments, the works improved the functionality, connectivity and long-term reliability of the upgraded driver facilities.
