Retaining Walls: Building retaining walls is key to stabilise slopes and support the track infrastructure.
Walkways and Access Routes: Creating safe walkways and access routes for railway maintenance personnel to ensure efficient and safe access for inspections and repair works.
Refurbishing railway bridges: By repairing or replacing worn components, the bridge's lifespan is extended, delaying the need for a complete replacement, and making better use of existing infrastructure.
Underpasses: Repairing and maintaining ensures the structural integrity of the passage, minimising the risk of accidents or collapse, and providing a safe crossing environment for users.
Culverts: By repairing damaged culverts, the risk of water pooling near the railway is minimised, maintaining the stability of the trackbed and preventing ground erosion.
Station Enhancements: Enhance passenger facilities and ensure compliance with modern standards.
Safety Inspections and Compliance: As part of our services, we conduct regular inspections and assessments to ensure that the track and related civil structures meet safety and regulatory standards.
