Railway Engineering

Combined with 60 years of global experience in rail project delivery – from huge and intricate underground lines in Stockholm and high-speed rail concepts in Norway to rapid light-rail systems in the Caribbean, landmark stations in London and upgrading underground railway systems on major South African gold and coal mines – we are able to offer our clients world-class expertise.

The quality of our people and the innovations they bring to the industry, and the clear understanding of our rail sector clients’ business drivers, mean we have a formidable record of helping clients enhance performance and safety while reducing the cost of running the network.We combine our expertise and practical management skills to produce better design concepts, deliver asset enhancement, improve construction programmes and lower costs while also considering environmental aspects to help minimise negative impacts.

We work across all phases of a project – surveys, planning, design, construction, maintenance and management – drawing on our extensive local teams to provide broad geographical coverage.

From renewing infrastructure – such as track and signalling systems – and implementing capacity enhancements at junctions and stations, to designing upgraded power supplies to meet growing electrification demands and finding solutions for complex permanent-way design challenges, our projects span the full range of railway system assets.
