FEATURED PROJECT
Kings Heath AVIS
DESCRIPTION.
An Automatic Vehicle Inspection System (AVIS) was installed at Kings Heath depot to improve the monitoring of consumable components across the Siemens train fleet.
By providing real-time data and comprehensive reporting on key equipment, the system enhances maintenance efficiency, minimises downtime, and supports safe, reliable fleet operation.
This investment helps Siemens maintain high service standards while optimising the lifecycle management of its assets.

Hexagon provided a full design solution covering all critical aspects required for the successful integration of the new system, including: • Reinforced concrete bases – providing a stable and durable foundation for the new equipment • Service routes – efficiently integrated to minimise disruption and ensure reliable operation • Power and water supply layouts with electrical schematics – delivering dependable services for continuous operation • GRP screens – enhancing safety and protection across the facility • Permanent way through the new works – maintaining smooth rail operations • Holding down bolt designs – ensuring secure installation of key equipment • Access routes – enabling safe and efficient movement around the depot • Temporary works for cranage – supporting safe lifting operations and construction efficiency
From start to finish, the design was tailored to optimise safety, reliability, and operational performance.
