Lineside Civils
-
We provide comprehensive site investigations to scope and manage clearance or other maintenance works.
Site clearance services cover inorganic material clearance and de-vegetation for lineside, depot or site compounds. Sub-services include rope access for difficult terrain, ongoing weed control and invasive species removal.
We also provide management and monitoring services for CRT, whether independently or as part of a package of works.
-
We deliver groundworks, delivery and installation assistance to enable Relocatable Equipment Buildings (REBs), Location Cases and Cabinets (LOCs), lineside or platform barriers, and concrete bases for passenger or depot platforms.
With connections across the manufacturing and supply chain, plus project and engineering management expertise, we can assist from the design and scoping stages all the way through to deployment, relocation or decommissioning.
-
Quickly and effectively arrange any number, combination or volume of civil lineside works, whether in isolation or as a larger programme.
We cover a wide range of works, including but not limited to:
Access points, including road-rail access points, concrete and stone access, haul roads, and other track access solutions
➔ UTX/URX, including ducting and cable troughing

Track Monitoring & Management
-
We apply specialist expertise and state-of-the-art equipment to manually or automatically monitor track systems. With us, you can be confident in early detection of any changes or issues, whether related to twists, cant or settlement.
We also provide stillage monitoring and watchman deployment services.
Supported by our management and consultancy expertise, you can benefit from tailored packages of regular reporting and insightful analysis to support effective track monitoring.
Station Platform Enhancements
-
We provide design and build services for enhancements and extensions to existing platforms. We can also work with you to plan and deliver refurbishment of existing platforms, from resurfacing to drainage and integration of new furniture.
Accessibility enhancements, whether for foot or cycle traffic, additional entryways, disabled access, or copers and tactiles, are also offered.
-
Surrounding infrastructure can be added, improved or refurbished in isolation, or in conjunction with a platform renewal.
This includes ramps, lifts and stairs; weather protection such as canopies and shelters; station facilities and outbuildings; and access features such as subways and footbridges.
-
We’ll work with you to evaluate your site and performance requirements, designing and building safe, effective structures for supporting passenger, locomotive and structural loads.
Effective drainage systems are designed to ensure passenger safety and minimise the risk of waterlogging or flooding to trackside or station areas.
We can work with you to enhance the sustainability of these solutions, from material choice to runoff control.
