Engineering Discipline
Rail & Transport Infrastructure
Rail design, structures and multidisciplinary delivery — from DCO to construction.
We deliver rail and transport-infrastructure engineering across rail-served logistics, structures, bridges and complex interfaces — leading rail design and acting as Principal Designer under CDM 2015 from Development Consent Order (DCO) through FEED, Approval in Principle (AIP), detailed design and construction support.
Our experience includes the West Midlands Interchange — the UK's most significant rail-served logistics development (£1bn, up to 8 million sq ft) — where we led the rail design and Principal Designer role, including AIP design of four bridges and demolition of an existing bridge, coordinating Network Rail, local authorities, statutory bodies and the freight-terminal operator, and managing rail possessions, surveys and access.
What we deliver
Rail design & permanent-way interfaces
Rail structures & bridges (Approval in Principle)
Principal Designer duties (CDM 2015)
Network Rail & statutory stakeholder management
Rail possessions, surveys & access coordination
DCO / consents and discharge of requirements
Rail-served logistics & freight interchange
Across every project phase
How rail & transport infrastructure contributes at each stage of the lifecycle — and connects to the disciplines and delivery functions around it.
FEED
Approval in Principle (AIP), design basis, Principal Designer set-up, surveys and rail-possession strategy.
Detailed Design
Detailed rail and structures design (incl. bridges), multidiscipline interface management, AIP/Form A&B.
Construction
Construction support, rail possessions, statutory-body liaison and discharge of DCO requirements.
Commissioning
Assurance, handover and entry-into-service support.
Operations & Maintenance
Asset support, modification and renewals interfaces.
Where this capability is applied
Rail-served logistics and freight interchanges, stations, depots and structures, with interfaces to highways, drainage and utilities — coordinated with Network Rail and statutory stakeholders.
Single discipline or integrated scope
Engage rail design as a single discipline, or as an integrated multidiscipline scope (civil & structural, drainage, utilities, project management) with Principal Designer duties under CDM 2015.
