What are the benefits?
Civil engineering structures and the permanent way represent a significant proportion of any rail organisations asset base - and a critical component to the delivery of service to customers. Our advice and support can provide you with a robust approach to the development and management of the assets - and improved risk management.
Recent projects
Our feasibility report and cost estimates for a major replacement project for GMPTE were used to gain government funding. We wrote the specification for 30km of track renewal and assisted with tender assessment. The accepted tender matched our cost estimate so adequate funding was in place. We continued to support the client through design and implementation of both track and signalling.
We provided core engineering input in signalling, telecommunications and track to a client consortium headed by English Partnerships to support the business case for the East West Rail Project linking Oxford to Cambridge. Previous studies were updated and bottom up assessments were undertaken, leading to the development of some innovative and cost effective solutions for returning low usage and mothballed sections of track back to service.
