Here's a closer look at how we serve the industry

Haulage Services

Our haulage services ensure the timely delivery of essential materials and equipment for railway projects, supporting both construction and maintenance efforts:

  • Track laying: We transport steel rails, sleepers, and ballast to work sites, facilitating track-laying projects and repairs. This ensures railway lines are operational, minimising downtime and disruptions to services.
  • Rolling stock: We transport new or refurbished rolling stock to railway depots, aiding in fleet expansions and upgrades. This helps railway operators maintain and enhance service quality, offering reliable and efficient travel options for passengers and freight.
  • Equipment and machinery: Utilising our heavy haulage and abnormal load services, we often transport equipment and machinery required for railway projects. From excavators and bulldozers to tamping machines and track inspection vehicles, these services ensure that the necessary tools are available on-site, supporting project progression and completion.
Lifting Services

Our lifting services are utilised for various operations within the railway industry, assisting with the installation and maintenance of key infrastructure:

  • Signal installation: Our HIABs and other cranes help position and install signals along railway lines, supporting traffic management and ensuring safe operations. This is essential for maintaining orderly railway traffic and preventing accidents.
  • Bridge and overpass construction: Our lifting vehicles assist in the construction of bridges and overpasses, allowing railways to traverse challenging terrain or cross busy roadways. This contributes to the expansion of railway networks and enhances their efficiency.
  • Maintenance: Our HIABs also provide support to maintenance projects, such as overhead line maintenance and track repairs. By providing the necessary lifting equipment, we’re helping maintenance crews carry out their tasks safely and efficiently, preserving railway infrastructure.
Groundworks Services

Our groundworks services provide foundational support for railway projects, ensuring that infrastructure is prepared and maintained:

  • Site preparation: Our groundworks services can be utilised to prepare sites for new railway lines, stations and depots. This could include land clearing, excavation and grading, ensuring a stable foundation for construction.
  • Drainage solutions: We are able to implement drainage solutions to manage water flow around railway lines, preventing flooding and ensuring safe and reliable operations. This is particularly important for maintaining the integrity of tracks and preventing accidents.
  • Maintenance: We support the maintenance of railway infrastructure, including track beds and station grounds. This ensures that facilities remain operational, safe, and accessible to passengers and workers.
