FIRSTCo

Control Systems Design and Integration

Firstco is a leading independent Controls and Communications Systems Design practice, employing over 40 engineers across a spectrum of consultants, senior engineers, designers and technical support. Unlike many Consultancy practices, Firstco also has extensive experience and capability in delivering and supporting Controls and Communications systems. This brings an added level of knowledge and understanding of our clients’ operations to the design and specification of such systems.

Firstco has worked extensively in the buildings and transport sectors for over 15 years and specialises in large integrated transport systems projects. We have worked with a number of blue chip client’s including End-user/Operators, Multi-Disciplinary Consultancies and Complex Building Contractors. Firstco brings practical knowledge of systems at all stages of the project life-cycle. We are increasingly involved to provide strategic input even while the earliest functional descriptions of systems are being prepared. As a result, we no longer just provide technical expertise, but can also focus on the crucial aspects of a client’s business and their future, operational requirements.

Firstco begin GSM-R coverage at Heathrow - 07th September 09

Firstco have been working with Heathrow Express and in partnership with Network Rail to develop a high level network solution that could enable Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM-R) coverage within the Heathrow Express tunnels and its associated rail stations.

GSM-R is aiming at being a cost efficient digital replacement for existing incompatible in-track cable and analogue railway radio networks.

Following agreement on the solution and scope of activities, Firstco have been tasked by Heathrow Express to provide a detailed design for enabling the GSM-R network rollout and keeping the CSR operational in parallel until the migration occurs.
