New
electronic interlocking for parts of Berlin's U2 subway line
The Berlin
Transport Association (BVG) and Siemens Mobility have signed a contract for the
construction of a Sicas ECC electronic interlocking at Alexanderplatz subway
station. The new interlocking is to cover the approximately 3.5-kilometer route
between the Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz and Spittelmarkt subway stations. In addition
to the indoor system, the scope of order includes new cables, a cable system
and around 150 K140 signals (main, pre, emergency and protection signals). The
line, which comprises a total of five stations, runs underground on two tracks
in a tunnel with a small clearance gauge. The project, which has a total volume
of around €13 million, will start laying cables in November 2021 and will be
completed in summer 2024.

“We are honored that we will be supplying one of the busiest underground stations in Berlin, Alexanderplatz, with our Sicas ECC electronic interlocking. This new interlocking will provide BVG with a low-maintenance system which is characterized by high safety and availability, cost-effective operation, and flexibility,” says Marc Ludwig, Head of Mass Transit, Rail Infrastructure.
