As our cities grow, and need to be maintained to keep up with the modern world, our rail services face numerous challenges unique to the rail sector. They are often in congested and built up areas, where minimal disruption is vital.
By adding tight budgets, strict project schedules and built in delay clauses, our customers are left with little margin for error.
Supporting Britain's rail infrastructure
Whether it’s scheduled track maintenance or a major infrastructure upgrade, contractors can face a number of challenges unique to the rail industry.
We are here to help deliver your project and have been consistently doing so for many years. We can add value by using our expertise to help reduce safety risks, project costs and complexity, whilst helping minimise disruption.
Over the years we’ve helped deliver major rail projects from Canning Town flyover through to the Barmouth Viaduct renovations and we are now helping to deliver HS2 and the CP7 framework.
Project planning and possessions
One of the major challenges when working on railway projects is keeping railways open during works. Closing the railway for any scheduled work requires extensive planning and co-ordination between many interested parties. Where a railway possession is required, our teams have the relevant experience and certifications for all rail works.
Early Engagement
We regularly see the value of early engagement, where temporary works is considered at an earlier stage of the project sequence. This approach is especially critical within the rail sector. Using immersive technology like EVE allows you to rehearse a project before any work begins on site, so any potential issues can be fixed and project delays can be avoided.
We are also on call to respond quickly to emergency situations and get things moving again.
Improving under-track, on-track and trackside safety
Whether you’re working on under-track crossing (UTX) and need lightweight shoring equipment on site fast, looking for real-time data on the condition of the track without the safety risks involved with manual surveys or need to monitor embankments for movement, we can help.
Asset management
From getting you on site safely with our temporary access and bridging, to the propping and jacking equipment to support your structures and the monitoring sensors to manage the behaviour of the structure during the works or the impact on the environment around the site, we have everything you need to maintain, repair, improve or build railway tunnels, stations, permanent bridges and more.
One temporary works partner from start to finish
To help minimise the challenges when managing multi-phase, multi-partner projects, we can work with you from initial tender stage and contract win, provide you with the best engineered design solution, supply the ideal products, and we’re the only temporary works specialist in the UK that can install and dismantle the kit!
