Railways

HomeExpertiseTransportationRailways

The UK rail industry is seeing unprecedented growth and investment in integrated, safe, and efficient networks. These rail systems need to be future-proofed to meet future capacity and demands of customers in a technology-enabled era.

GHD provides high value technical, advisory, engineering and consultancy services in the UK railway sector and around the world. We work with clients to respond flexibly to their fast-evolving needs, leveraging our international capability to address the challenges of today and the future.

We work closely with operators, owners, governments, financiers, planners, regulators, and developers. Our design and consultancy service covers management, operation, and delivery of integrated transport across rail, light rail, freight, and tram system projects.

By partnering early with railways clients, we weave their needs and vision into compelling business case development. We support from feasibility through to specification and design, as well as assessing and optimising procurement, management and maintenance arrangements.

We manage systems integration design and engineering, and can guide and apply the latest asset management processes. Our work developing the International Infrastructure Management Manual, PAS-55, and ISO 55000 for asset management means our clients benefit from the latest in generating value, efficiency and safety.

At a project level, our technical expertise spans all railways elements, including electrification, signalling and train control systems, communications systems, permanent way, civils and structures, environment and geotechnical planning, operational planning, and disposal.

We embed component data to help our clients more effectively manage large, data-intensive, linear assets like railway systems. Our experienced team of RailSys modellers also provides vital support to improve project performance and reliability.

We help clients achieve more for less and overcome tomorrow's challenges today, through our vast range of experience, skills, and innovation. This is the foundation on which we have built our comprehensive service to establish GHD as a key influencer in the railways sector.
