Trusted
Maintenance Solutions
for the
UK Rail Infrastructure
The UK boasts one of the busiest, and safest, railway networks in the world. Every year, 1.8 billion people travel by rail, and every day millions of passengers pass over, under, or through assets that must be carefully monitored, maintained, and repaired. With rail travel experiencing a resurgence, the upkeep of these assets, including more than 30,000 bridges, viaducts, and tunnels, is critical to maintaining the efficiency, reliability, and safety of the network.
Today’s railway represents 200 years of engineering innovation and determination, but it also presents the challenge of an ageing infrastructure. Maintaining this network consumes ever-larger budgets, and planning and executing refurbishment work within the limited “engineering hours” available adds further complexity. Coordinating work around train operations requires meticulous planning and skilled execution to minimise disruption.
CRL is uniquely positioned to meet these challenges. For over 70 years, we have been inspecting, repairing, and strengthening rail assets across the UK. Our staff are fully trained to work safely on the railway and are experienced in operating within restricted engineering hours. We maintain RISQS certification for our products and services, ensuring the highest standards of safety and quality. (RISQS supplier number: 6480; certificate available via the link below.)
Our rail sector services cover the inspection, repair, and strengthening of all types of structures, including station facilities, platforms, bridges, viaducts, and tunnels. We work with all major rail clients in the UK, including Network Rail, London Underground, Eurotunnel, Docklands Light Railway, Nottingham Tram, Mersey Travel, Nexus, and most other train operating companies (TOCs).
With highly skilled operatives under the management of our Chartered Engineers, we deliver a professional, end-to-end service to the rail sector. Our dedicated planner ensures resources and works are efficiently programmed, while our in-house Safety Advisor oversees all projects to guarantee safe, compliant operations within the rail environment.
