MGB International

MGB established Magnate Grey Box International Pty Ltd in Australia in March 2009, in order to better serve its major client in New South Wales and Queensland. In 2011 MGB established a train control systems division to bring added value to rail projects. In addition to providing design and configuration services for train control projects, the TCS... division will also work closely with the MGBI signalling functions - this will provide clients with a seamless integration between systems control and interlocking. Integration will begin at the design phase resulting in robust, efficient and cost effective systems. MGB also established MGBI Malaysia Sdn Bhd in Kuala Lumpur in 2011, again to better provide local support to major clients. MGB established an office in Perth, Western Australia in January 2012. Throughout its evolution, MGB has sought to provide cost effective solutions to some of the challenges that exist across the signalling industry. One of these solutions is MGBI's proprietary materials and labour estimating and management system, DMITS. The DMITS system allows the production of highly accurate bills of material and labour at early stages of any project, which may then be updated to reflect design, installation or testing driven change. Recording and measuring the change on signalling projects has resulted in more detailed understanding of the causes of cost escalation, and by using the predictive ability of the system, has allowed cost of change analysis to be carried out before rather than after changes are implemented. The MGB DMITS system has also contributed significantly to the ease of implementing a standardised approach to signalling design. MGB provides clients with a full range of design and project services including design & verification, project engineering, commercial management, project management, site management, testing and project engineering; and are recruiting and training signalling engineers locally as well as providing a local interface wherever necessary.Read More
