  • Support for Network Rail standards and client-specific asset management protocols

Electrical Track Equipment Works (ETE)

Supporting a number of highly reputable clients, we provide a broad range of competent and experienced resources, including High Voltage Competent Persons (HVCP) and skilled Electrical, Traction and Power (ETEP / E&P) installation teams. Our personnel are fully qualified, Sentinel-verified, and experienced in working within safety-critical rail environments, ensuring compliant and efficient delivery across a wide range of traction power and associated infrastructure works.

Electrical Track Maintenance Works (ETM)

Our teams are experienced in the installation of all sizes of DC conductor rail, including the installation and adjustment of insulated holding pots, ramps, gaps, and associated protective guarding. We are fully conversant with Network Rail standards and tolerances for conductor rail alignment and height, ensuring consistent and smooth current collection between the train shoegear and conductor rail.

We have supported the successful delivery of major DC traction power schemes, including South Alliance, Thameslink KO1 & KO2, and the Reading Capacity Upgrade, working safely and effectively within complex, operational rail environments.

Cable Containment - ARCO, Troughing and GRP Routes

We have extensive experience in the installation of elevated troughing and ARCO-approved cable routes, with teams fully competent in erecting posts, securing supports, and performing precise trough and cable cuts to Network Rail standards and tolerances. Our crews can be rapidly deployed to install all types of ARCO routes, ensuring safe, compliant, and efficient cable deployment across complex environments. This capability supports the timely and cost-effective delivery of projects, while maintaining the highest standards of quality and safety on and around the operational railway.

Cable installations on Network Rail Infrastructure

We are capable of delivering full installation services at any time, day or night, ensuring both safety and quality are maintained throughout. Our teams are currently deployed on major UK infrastructure programmes, including Crossrail, the Great Western Electrification Programme, and the Cardiff (CVL) project, installing a wide range of cable types. From high-voltage 33 kV and 25 kV AC traction power cables to small fibre-optic circuits, we provide end-to-end services, including planning, installation, jointing, testing, and handback, ensuring projects are completed safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with Network Rail standards.

Sleeper changes including CMS

The use of cable management sleepers is becoming increasingly common across the Network Rail infrastructure, as they provide enhanced protection for cables and a safer method for routing services across track. Our teams have installed numerous cable management sleepers throughout the South of England and are fully competent in all aspects of the installation. This includes ensuring precise measurements, correctly positioning and securing the sleepers, and completing Kangoo packing to the highest standard, ensuring track stability and safe passage of trains once the track is handed back.

Substation Works

We provide a broad range of skilled personnel, fully competent and holding the necessary entry permits for access to substations for surveying, inspection, or other working activities. Our teams have been involved in all aspects of substation construction, from initial groundwork and minor civils through to the installation, wiring, and commissioning of units and lighting systems. We can deploy confident, experienced teams to support all stages of your substation works, ensuring safe, efficient, and compliant delivery in line with industry and Network Rail standards.

Platform Civil Operations

Our teams are experienced in delivering a wide range of civils works, including tarmac installation, ducting, and cable installation. We understand the specific hazards and operational challenges associated with working on station platforms and operate in full compliance with Network Rail safety standards. Our civil teams are fully conversant with the requirements for installing new walkways and can also undertake the construction of reinforced platform extensions, ensuring works are completed safely, efficiently, and to the required quality standards.
