Case Studies
How did we accurately monitor silica levels during the replacement of rail track?
When rail track is damaged or needs replacing, the ballast surrounding the track is disturbed which can release silica - a harmful substance to humans if inhaled. Using the world’s first live silica monitor, this project helped provide The Central Rail Systems Alliance (CRSA) with live reporting to assess the real-time safety of their activities.
Gull Wing Bridge
The Gull Wing Bridge is an innovative piece of infrastructure located in Lowestoft, being delivered by Suffolk County Council and built by Farrans Construction. The bridge over Lake Lothing will provide a much-needed third crossing point, helping to reduce traffic congestion in the town, regenerate the area and attract new investment.
Carr Lane Underpass
An underpass was constructed beneath the railway line at Carr Lane, Doncaster, on a new housing estate. This formed part of a £3.5 million investment by Network Rail to improve safety in the area.

Sustainable lighting for Network Rail
Passenger demand for train services has doubled in Britain over the last 20 years and more frequent services mean tracks need to be renewed more often. Network Rail’s High Output (HO) operations keep the railway running, carrying out 70% of Britain’s track renewal work.
Each night, HO teams replace up to a mile of ballast and renew rails and sleepers over three quarters of a mile, ensuring less disruption to train services. Around 1,200 people work in HO on the tracks, at Network Rail’s York and Birmingham offices, seven operations bases and at five delivery depots.
We have worked with Network Rail for several years supplying an extensive range of rail equipment and services for the HO contract, including:
- Hand tools
- Battery tools
- Petrol and diesel tools
- On-site lighting
- Welfare units
- Portable toilets
- Traffic management
- CCTV
- Generators
- Rail plant fitters and plant operators.
Possession Success at Euxton
Balfour Beatty delivered a major track overhaul at Euxton Junction, near Chorley, over the spring bank holiday in 2020.
These essential upgrades were to the West Coast Main Line between London Euston, the North West and Scotland to improve reliability for future train services and to help prepare the way for HS2.
Carbon Success for Colas Rail
With a million more trains on the railways today than a decade ago, Colas Rail, AECOM and Network Rail are working together as part of the S&C South Alliance to deliver crucial switches and crossings renewals in the South of the UK.
In addition to track works the Alliance also undertakes all aspects associated with multi-disciplinary renewal and is the ‘go to’ mechanism for Network Rail to deliver complete enhancement works.
We have been sole supplier for plant and equipment to Colas Rail and the S&C Alliance South since 2013. The team supply vital communications, safety equipment, rail portable plant, accommodation and traffic management for both their plain line and S&C contracts.
