Incredible 1 mile (1.6km) column thick , with a surface area more than four times of Paris, France.
In June 2019, RPT completed the design and delivery of mission-critical communication networks for over 28 Traction Power substations, 110 Track Side Switch Sites across Route Section 2, 6-9 across South England and Wales for ABB/UK Power Network consortium.
UK Network Rail GWEP (Great Western Electrification Programme) is ABB/UK Power Networks led Consortium project for the modernisation, upgrade and electrification of one of Britain’s busiest railway Telecom Networks for better connection across England and Wales.
In 2017, RPT completed the overall design, implementation/Integration and testing of highly complex HVDC Power delivery control /SCADA systems network, with various Control Auto functions/Automatic Control sequences, with critical telecom network/backbone infrastructures for End-to End comms/connectivity for the Lower Churchill HVDC Project.
Nalcor Energy’s Lower Churchill Project is a 350KV HVDC Transmission Project that stretches 1100 km from Muskrat Falls near Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador to Soldiers Pond, Newfoundland, for transmission of energy from Newfoundland and Labrador to Atlantic Canada and north-eastern United States.
The project is earmarked to generate significant employment and economic benefits of $2.6 billion to Newfoundland and Labrador labour and business.
In 2018, RPT was contracted by GE, an American multinational conglomerate, in power generation and Utilities, to carry out detailed Network Assessment for KEPCO BP2 HVDC Transmission scheme at Jeju and Jindo converter stations, in South Korea. The goal of the Network Assessment was to fully evaluate site requirements in preparation for an impending network upgrade, gather network diagnostic data for analysis in order to provide informed feedback and recommendations to assist GE with the plans to redesign the telecoms network for the HVDC transmission scheme.
This exercise was necessary to provide a solution that would correct the recurrent communication failures that were causing mal-operation of the HVDC scheme, and sometimes causing unplanned outages.
Ultimately, the end state design changes that was implemented by RPT fixed the communication anomalies and ensured automatic Ethernet failover, redundancy, data availability and resiliency. The solution did not have any regressive effect or ramifications on the HVDC control system which was currently in commercial operation. RPT commissioned the solution under tight outage schedules authorised by KEPCO and the Control system was duly handed over to the customer for return to full commercial operation.
The Jindo–Jeju 400 MW, ±250 kV HVDC system is a 105 km HVDC transmission scheme of subsea cable connection in South Korea between the island of Jindo, close to the Korean Peninsula, and the more distant island of Jeju. The Jindo–Jeju HVDC system is owned and operated by Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO). The HVDC transmission scheme takes the electrical power from an alternating current (AC) system, and converts it into DC using thyristor-based converters. The direct current is then transmitted through the submarine cables to the remote HVDC station where it is turned back to AC by another converter station.
Buk-Dangjin-Godeok HVDC Energy Highway is GE- KAPES joint venture strategic $320million mega deal contract to bring 4 GW power to Seoul's metropolitan area, in South Korea for the reinforcement of its Grid’s network, stability and reliability.

Champa HVDC Transmission scheme is the First 800KV, Ultra High Voltage Direct Current (UHVDC) Control and Protection scheme in India. The Champa- Kurukshetra link is currently transmitting power of up to 3000 MW, which has been achieved for the first time in India. The 1,287-km energy highway enhances inter-regional capacity between northern and western regions of India.
RPT was responsible for the design, implementation and commissioning of overall network and telecoms communications solution for GE’s HVDC transmission scheme.

IFA1 2000 BP1 & BP2 Cyber Security & Virtualisation Project – Completed for UK end in 2025.
Over a decade since the commissioning of the IFA1 Bipole 1 and Bipole 2 HVDC interconnectors, the legacy UK-end supporting operational systems for the GE Series V Control system has now been successfully migrated and virtualised by RPT. This modernisation sees the entire supporting systems for the Series V Control system migrated into a resilient, cybersecurity-hardened datacentre infrastructure, in alignment with OFGEM compliance standards.
The IFA 2000 link — a 2000 MW high voltage direct current (HVDC) interconnector between Sellindge (UK) and Les Mandarins (France) — remains the highest-rated HVDC submarine interconnection in the world. Spanning approximately 70 km, including 45 km of subsea cable, it supplies electricity to over 3 million people across the UK and continental Europe.
Originally renovated and commissioned by GE in 2011 with the installation of Series V control systems and upgraded thyristor valves, the IFA 2000 was ready in time to support the London 2012 Olympics and continues to underpin secure energy exchange between the UK and France.
RPT led and conducted a comprehensive Cybersecurity Assessment for IFA BP1 &BP2 HVDC Transmission Scheme in alignment with the UK Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF), addressing cyber security gaps and requirements for its operational technology (OT) environment.
