09TS Victoria Line Supply of Vertical and Lateral Dampers

Description

This is a goods only requirement estimated to be circa £559,345 for the supply of 1480 vertical and 729 lateral dampers to support the 09TS Victoria Line Fleet Heavy Overhaul Program Lift (HOPL) project. . These dampers are critical suspension components connecting the bogies (wheelsets) to the car body, primarily to absorb vibrations, control excessive movement, and ensure a smooth stable ride by managing vertical bumps and side-to-side (lateral) swaying, boosting passenger comfort and reducing noise. The dampers work together to isolate the car body from track imperfections, especially important for faster high frequency lines. ## Contract award
