If needed, Siemens Mobility also performs maintenance services. The customer service team is always ready to provide spare parts, tools, test equipment or other support to help transit agency staff do their own maintenance. Siemens Mobility engineers also customized the S700 to eliminate ground vibrations as the LRV goes over the rail near buildings that house operations sensitive to such movement.Īnother selection factor was Siemens Mobility’s well-known customer support that’s available long after the two-year warranty ends for each LRV delivered. One significant change was customizing the S700 to use 1,500 volts since the Link system’s overhead catenary lines were designed that way years ago. The Northgate Link Extension extends Sound Transits Link light rail system from the existing northern. Agency staff and Siemens engineers worked closely throughout the design process to meet Sound Transit’s stringent requirements and passenger needs. Ground freezing system within the tunnel. The ability for the Sound Transit team to collaborate with the engineers designing its LRV at Siemens Mobility’s well-established manufacturing facility in Sacramento, CA, was a major reason the S700 model was selected. Collaboration and ongoing support define S700 LRVs
