CCGI Completes Keolis/MBTA North Station Project

Sandwich, MA – Chapman Construction Group, Inc. (CCGI), a NECA Boston Chapter electrical contractor based in Sandwich, recently completed electrical installations integral to the Keolis/MBTA North Station Terminal Area Signal System Improvement Project.

The North Station’s new signal houses are a key component of the MBTA’s new signal system project.

CCGI’s project scope entailed installation and testing of signal cabling for six new electrical signal house bungalows. General foreman and project manager John O’Connell headed Chapman’s IBEW Local 103 electrical crew. Signal house installations and system testing were completed in September 2022.

The upgraded, state-of-the-art MBTA signal system controls the movement of trains coming in and out of North Station. The project is designed to improve the efficiency, safety, reliability, and resiliency of MBTA Commuter Rail and Amtrak trains serviced by the North Station Terminal. The comprehensive North Station Terminal Signal System Improvement project is scheduled for completion in August.

Chapman Construction Group, a WBE, VBE and DBE contractor, served as a subcontractor to the Keolis project’s primary electrical contractor, Fischbach and Moore.
