Case studies

Few deadlines are as important as the 29th Olympic Games opening ceremony, on 8th-Aug-2008. Both China central government and Beijing municipal government saw it as the landmark in modern Chinese history. All projects serving the Olympic Games are vital political events.
Beijing Metro Line 10 has 22 stations with 47 platforms, called the Olympic Games Line and links the Olympic Games Village for the epoch-making event. Beijing Metro deployed the PSD system to protect the avalanche of passengers during the games, so the PSD project must complete installation, testing and commissioning before June-2008 for trail operation.
Each station having its own architecture, the civil interfaces were very complex station by station. Faiveley Transport teams strained every nerve to cater to Beijing Metro and local government desires. The tailor-made designs built up from Faiveley Transport’s unique base modules supported full height open type PSD in Beijing China satisfying every requirement.
Beijing Line 10 PSD system began revenue operation on 8-Aug-2008 and served successfully during the whole 29th Olympic Games. It triumphed and ensured safety for 10 million passengers during the international events. After two years in operation, Faiveley Transport’s product and service prove again that the availability of our system during daily operation is well above the target of 99.96% to the full satisfaction of Beijing Metro Corporation and passengers in Beijing.
