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.

RAMS (reliability, availability, maintainability and safety) is a specialist discipline that trives to improve railway operational efficiency by ensuring appropriate processes are in place to monitor performance and take proactive steps towards addressing emerging problems.

We help our clients apply RAMS techniques – as detailed in the international standard IEC 62278 - across every aspect of the rail industry, from manufacturing and integrating a new fleet of vehicles, to the day-to-day operations of an entire rail network.
