Our capabilities support governments, network infrastructure managers, rail product suppliers, service operators and maintainers with assurance, engineering and technical advisory services:

Our team enables railway operators and maintainers to make informed data-driven decisions that enhance operational efficiency, extend asset life and optimise maintenance strategies.

We partner with Railway OEMs and suppliers to provide systems engineering and integration expertise, helping to ensure projects are seamlessly integrated into the wider rail network.

Technical Advisory
Whether you are looking to develop new regional transport plans, introduce low-emission technologies or procure new fleets, we bridge the divide between core engineering disciplines and the economic and environmental challenges of rail transport.
