Rail & Metro
Structural engineering for rail and metro: railway bridges, retaining structures, platforms and structures within the track area.
Building in the track area is above all a question of possessions and approval routes.
What we take on
- Railway over- and underbridges, new build and replacement
- Retaining and cut-and-cover structures along the line
- Platforms, stairs and canopies
- Verification of construction stages, temporary bridges and track support
Possessions govern the construction
What can be installed in a weekend closure decides precast against in-situ concrete, incremental launching against a single lift, and where the joints and splices go. We design from the installation operation, not only from the final condition.
Codes and approval
On top of the Eurocodes, the infrastructure operator’s own technical standards apply, and checking runs through their organisation. That lengthens the route to approval considerably – we build those periods into the programme from the start.
