Services
Electrical Engineering
We design and implement electrical systems for rail infrastructure including LV/HV distribution, traction rectifiers, and critical supply systems. Our engineers manage DNO connections and install kiosks/cubicles for signalling applications. With expertise in 11-25kV distribution and safety-critical lighting systems, we ensure reliable power delivery across complex rail environments.
Civil Engineering
Our civil teams deliver foundations, under-track crossings, and earthworks to support rail electrification projects. Services include concrete trough installation, vegetation clearance, and pedestrian walkway construction. We specialise in creating durable infrastructure solutions that integrate seamlessly with mechanical and electrical systems across diverse terrain.
Switchgear Manufacturing
We manufacture custom LV switchgear solutions including modular DNO cubicles and motor control centres. Our facilities produce principal supply points and distribution boards to exacting safety standards. All switchgear systems undergo rigorous testing to ensure compliance with rail industry specifications and operational reliability in demanding environments.
Steel Fabrication
Our fabrication division creates bespoke steel structures for rail applications including equipment platforms, fencing systems, and modular buildings. Using advanced welding techniques, we produce grillage foundations and transfer plates that meet precise engineering tolerances. All components undergo quality assurance checks to ensure structural integrity and longevity.
Specialist Plant Hire
We provide temporary power solutions and specialist equipment for rail projects including generator sets, lifting machinery, and electrical testing apparatus. Our hire fleet supports track access operations and emergency power requirements. All equipment meets current safety standards and is maintained to strict compliance protocols for reliable field operations.
