Our Electrification and Plant (E&P) Capabilities
Softech Rail provides fully integrated Electrification and Plant (E&P) services to power and protect the UK’s rail infrastructure. From high and low voltage distribution to fixed plant, earthing, bonding, and station systems, we design and deliver the essential electrical infrastructure that keeps railways running safely and efficiently.
Our E&P service offering spans from early-stage feasibility studies and route assessments to detailed design, installation, testing, and commissioning. We carry out specialist site surveys and asset condition reviews to ensure designs are tailored, buildable, and fully compliant. Through our end-to-end Design & Build capability, we consolidate every phase of project delivery under a single contract — streamlining programme management, reducing risk, and ensuring full accountability from concept to energisation.
