Delivering specialist survey and design expertise into critical rail projects
We help deliver ambitious schemes for vital rail infrastructure improvements which are transforming the network to meet the growing demands of freight and passengers whilst taking cognisance of the push towards Net Zero by 2050.
Working in partnership with architects, designers, contractors, and clients, such as Network Rail, Train Operating Companies and TfL, our seasoned team of experts delivers Civil, Structural, MEP and Telecoms (SISS) engineering design, alongside specialist survey consultancy services, for a wide range of projects - from new-build and refurbished stations and buildings, depots and lineside structures, through to infrastructure lighting upgrades.
With our design and survey expertise, plus a full understanding of the Network Rail and Train Operating Companies GRIP and PACE design approval processes, we can get your project moving quickly and seamlessly, right from the start, meeting your project objectives and reducing risk.
