Operations and maintenance
Operations and maintenance services to ensure that our clients' programmes are delivered with excellence.
Services
We help railway infrastructure managers and operators replace reactive 'find and fix' maintenance regimes with proactive, evidence-based approaches that exploit the latest condition monitoring and data analysis tools.
Using innovative data collection methods - such as using in-service trains rather than dedicated measurements vehicles - we can provide continuous asset condition intelligence direct to maintenance teams through customised dashboards featuring location maps, diagnostics readings, photographic evidence and 3D models.
