Tube Lines has chosen Causeway Technologies to support its upgrade of the infrastructure on the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly (JNP) lines on the London Underground. Tube Lines has committed to upgrade 97 of the 100 stations on the JNP Lines within the first seven and a half years. This forms part of a total investment of £4.4 billion.
Tube Lines will use Causeway Collaboration, which is based on Open Text's team-collaboration and document management solution, Livelink, under an initial two-year contract to manage the flow of information for its station modernization programme.
Commenting on the web-based tool, Craig McFarlane, Station's Project Manager for Tube Lines says: "We are investing around £0.5 billion to improve the travelling environment for passengers and enhancing communications, fire protection and security systems through the station modernization programme. To deliver this massive improvements programme efficiently, we needed a tool that would enable Tube Lines to maintain a consistent and effective approach to project management and to recognise the benefits of timely and controlled exchanges of information at all stages of each project. Causeway Technologies was best able to provide us with a tool with these capabilities." www.causeway-tech.com
