Development of Rail Infrastructure:
Route Development and Implementation
- Route selection and optioneering to optimize environmental, engineering and operational constraints for both infrastructure and stations.
- Civil engineering requirements for track, earthworks, viaducts and tunnels.
- Mechanical/Electrical and Power and Catenary requirements including tunnel ventilation and fire/life safety development options.
- Train Control and Traffic Management systems. Option development and life cycle trade offs
- Systems integration planning to manage system interface complexity and compatibility.
- Station planning and systems.
- Testing and Commissioning from factory tests through to static and dynamic testing to trail operations.
- Engineering management systems.
- Programme management for delivery from route inception through design to construction and future operations. Defining client and supplier roles throughout to ensure efficient delivery.
- Rolling Stock procurement.
- Safety Certification of Rail Infrastructure
Operations and Maintenance of Rail Infrastructure
- Make vs buy decisions, tailored to geography availability of skilled resources.
- Recruitment of operations and maintenance staff. Over-arching education and training of local and third country personnel.
- Automated maintenance and inspection , including drone and robotic technology.
- Digital Twin Development
- Asset Management
- Wayside and dynamic monitoring of infrastructure in service.
