Rail Solutions

Civil Engineering

Civil engineering projects within the railway industry typically include the construction, extension, upgrade or repair of buildings, bridges, tunnels, car parks, platform extensions, utility works and more. As the UK railway network has become more popular over the last 10-15 years, pressure on infrastructure has increased. Our technologically advanced solutions, which include Amberg Rail, Leica total stations, machine control, laser scanning, GNSS and mobile laser scanning, can be utilised throughout civil projects.

Major Projects

Projects are working to increase capacity and create a faster, more reliable service. Whether it's the Transpennine route upgrade, East West Rail or HS2, these are all creating capacity and helping to make the railway a more compelling option for passengers and freight. These projects will help us to lower our carbon footprint by reducing the number of diesel lorries on our roads, reducing air travel, and making taking the train a more affordable option for passengers with increased capacity. Our technologically advanced solutions, which include Amberg Rail, Leica total stations, machine control, laser scanning, GNSS and mobile laser scanning, can be utilised throughout the construction and upgrading of projects throughout the UK.

Maintenance

Maintaining the railway focuses heavily on the track, which comprise long plain line sections with more complex switches and crossings. Alongside the track, ballast, overhead line equipment, drainage, vegetation, fences, and signalling also need regular maintenance to keep the railway environment safe and efficient. Our Amberg Rail Trolley, Leica Total stations, machine control, laser scanning, GNSS, and mobile scanning solutions can address some of the equipment needs for maintaining the UK railway infrastructure.

Renewals

Track renewals occur when the infrastructure has gone beyond its maintainable life and needs replacing. The process will focus on the track and the track bed but also consider drainage, bridges, overhead line equipment and signals. A track renewal project includes removing the old track, ballast and the substrate of the railway, and replacing it with modern, robust infrastructure fit for the future. Our Amberg Rail Trolley, Leica Total stations, machine control, laser scanning, GNSS, and mobile scanning solutions can address some of the equipment needs for renewal processes.
