As the prime contractor for the Miami-Dade Transit (MDT) Metrorail Control Center (MRCC) Upgrade design-build project, B&C Transit Inc. led the contract team tasked with the modernization of the existing Central Control Facility. The MRCC modernization project included renovation of the existing central control facility as well as an adjacent office space, upgrading and replacing the HVAC on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors, and upgrading the Power Distribution Units, Uninterruptible Power Supplies, and electrical systems associated with Metrorail monitoring and control. The project also replaced existing hardware and software with modern upgrades that brought more features and customization to Metrorail operators and technicians.
B&C Transit Inc. provided an updated control system for the MRCC upgrade project. The control system integrated hardware components and software applications to provide MDT with the capability to monitor and control the Orange and Green line transit systems from the central control facility. The upgrade incorporate a state-of-the-art integrated audio/visual display system which allowed workstations and video wall screens to be configurable for a variety of functions.
The new control center software included a centrally managed platform to support communications equipment including Facility SCADA, Motive Power SCADA, the public address system, platform variable message displays, and other key components used by supervisors to manage operations and other safety systems. The work provided by B&C Transit Inc. provided customized software and associated hardware that integrated data from multiple MDT systems so that data could be displayed on a customizable interface.
