Electrification and Plant Design Specialists for Rail
Successfully delivering innovative lineside E&P and M&E design across the rail network

We design new and upgrade aging plant systems across rail networks. In line with Network Rail’s goal for a low-emission railway and the UK’s Net Zero 2050 targets, our Electrification and Plant (E&P) team provides comprehensive power and plant upgrades. Network Rail’s CP7 strategic plan includes a robust E&P infrastructure renewal program to enhance railway reliability.
With expertise in a full spectrum of E&P upgrades, we focus on boosting power infrastructure to enhance railway reliability and efficiency. We’ve delivered impressive cost savings while tackling the toughest access challenges in complex, rail-locked environments.
