What we do
Depots and Sidings
One of the largest firms of our type, we support TOCs, FOCs and private sidings owners, designing, constructing and maintaining rail facilities throughout the UK.
Other Services
Led by our Operations Director, Rob Stevenson, and Contracts Manager, Wayne Grundy, we specialise in the design, construction and maintenance of depots and sidings, our 8 mobile teams providing rapid response and on call facilities for both track and signalling activities.
Supporting the likes of Siemens, Northern Rail and CBRE, we guarantee the safe, compliant operation of more than 50 sites across the country, our highly skilled operatives delivering inspection, patrolling and maintenance services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Even more so than labour, plant, and materials, however, we believe that effective planning, coordination and communication are key to ensuring rail facilities remain fully operational throughout any engineering or maintenance works.
It’s no wonder, therefore, that we’ve built a reputation for delivering new and enhanced facilities quickly, safely, and with the minimum of disruption, exceeding expectations along the way.
