• Lineside RFI testing during test train running.

• RFI and EMF measurements at new substations.

• RFI and EMF measurements at new passenger stations.

• Specialist RFI measurements to assess the impact of variable speed drives for ventilation fans.

• EMF measurements to support Canary Wharf station commissioning.

• Harmonic current monitoring at Canary Wharf.

• Induced voltage measurements on key tunnel infrastructure.

• Short circuit testing at Plumstead sidings and Westbourne Park ATS.

• Touch voltage testing at key locations including stations, tunnels and portals.
