What we do
Network Rail and Metro Systems
Holders of a Principal Contractor Licence and one of the largest firms of our type, we support both Network Rail and its Tier 1 contractors, providing construction, maintenance, and renewal services throughout the nation.
Other Services
Since 2007, we’ve worked alongside some of the biggest names in rail, providing planned and reactive engineering support to a broad spectrum of private and public sector clients.
From TOCs and FOCs to rolling stock manufacturers and heritage railways, we also help a number of Network Rail Works Delivery Units, assisting with the execution of key frameworks throughout the Wessex and Eastern regions.
Headed up by our Operations Director (North), Rob Stevenson, our twelve mobile teams bring years of heavy, light and industrial track experience to the table, hitting site with the very latest measurement and inspection equipment, not to mention large stocks of strategic spares.
Working from our South Yorkshire and London hubs, we’re on hand 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, helping our clients ensure the smooth running of the railway and minimising disruption for rail users in the process.
