Rail journeys are now a considerably safer and more reliable option than once was the case; its rising popularity as a means of travel means that the sector is now at full capacity for both passengers and freight.
This issue is a challenge for both present and future governments and will require innovative, ground-breaking thinking.
Aecoplan’s Primary Focus: Delivering Project Certainty Within The Railway Sector.
Aecoplan’s core expertise has been applied to this sector over several years. We have worked on-site rather than just “on paper”; our experience isn’t just conjectural or abstract, it’s real-life. We know how to deliver rail infrastructure projects. For you, our client, it’s this experience that sets us apart.
As a fully integrated, multi-disciplinary consultancy, we take a holistic approach to railway infrastructure projects over the whole of their lifecycle. From tender preparation, through to project delivery and beyond, our solutions are customised entirely to meet your goals.
What Can We Offer You?
- In depth knowledge and understanding of rail technologies (engineering, trains and plant)
- Extensive understanding of multi-disciplinary trades within this sector, such as Signalling, Track (Pway), Structures (tunnels, bridges, earthworks, embankments, buildings, platforms etc) Electrification & Plant Telecomms.
- Engagement across all stages of rail civil engineering projects, from initial feasibility studies, early design stages, through to construction methodology and project delivery assurance.
- Management of project schedules to ensure compliance with Network Rail procedures corresponding to functional processes and project requirements.
- Planning and scoping skills to ensure best delivery of project deadlines, sequencing and methodologies.
- High level technical expertise and guidance to project teams to ensure project delivery certainty.
- Contribution to the planning and delivery solutions during the early GRIP Stage 0-3 stages.
- Implementation of detailed, innovative engineering methodologies to maximise the use of disruption and ROTR (Rules of the Route) possessions.
- Provision of prompt, bespoke solutions to maximise engineering possession opportunities and minimise passenger and freight disruption during every stage of a project.
- Detailed and extensive knowledge of access and possession planning processes within the Network Rail infrastructure.
- Preparation and analysis comparisons of project scope and developing bid schedules.
