Case Study
Eurotunnel - A Fast Track Pass To Efficient Storage
Eurotunnel, a leader in railway transportation through the Channel Tunnel, has recently collaborated with System Store Solutions to upgrade their Works Trains Maintenance Department. Recognizing the need for an organized and efficient workspace, Eurotunnel entrusted System Store Solutions to install FAMI workbenches and storage cabinets in multiple rooms.
The Eurotunnel's works trains play a crucial role in the maintenance and operation of the Channel Tunnel, the world's longest undersea tunnel. These trains operate in a complex system comprising three 50km long tunnels, including two rail tunnels and a service tunnel for maintenance and emergency access. They are equipped with specialised vehicles for rapid incident response and maintenance tasks. Regular upkeep of the tunnel's infrastructure, such as the overhead catenary system, cooling pipes, signaling equipment, and safety systems like fire protection, is vital.
This ensures the smooth functioning and safety of the tunnel, which connects Folkestone, UK, to Coquelles, France. It is of the upmost importance that the workshop can operate at maximum efficiency. This is to ensure all machine maintenance tasks can be completed with ease. The installation of FAMI workbenches and cabinets gives the engineers vital workspace to perform tasks and helps reduce time taken by storing equipment in an efficient and clean manner.
Peter Bailey - Works Train Technical Lead:
"After an overhaul of our infrastructure workshops, we wanted a bespoke solution for all our calibrated workshop tools and day to day hand tools. With System Store Solutions being local, we invited them in for a chat. The options were endless, and our needs were listened too. We ended up with storage that exceeded our expectations and has transformed the way we work. The support throughout has been excellent, installation was a breeze and the after service has been great. So much so that other departments throughout Eurotunnel have adopted the same system."
