Rail infrastructure only opens up for compliance work during possessions and other planned engineering hours, so a testing visit has to work within a narrow, tightly controlled window rather than a normal working day. We plan around your access arrangements from the outset, rather than trying to fit around them at the last minute.
Stations and depot buildings typically need periodic fixed wire testing and EICR inspections to BS 7671, alongside thermal imaging surveys across depot equipment and signal relay rooms where an early warning matters most. Emergency lighting under BS 5266 is treated as a priority on platforms and in tunnels, and fire alarm testing to BS 5839 covers the high occupancy of a working station. Taller trackside structures are also covered by lightning protection surveys where needed.
Every engineer completes the site specific induction and safety briefing required before working within a live rail environment, and stays within possession boundaries and safe systems of work throughout. Reporting is built to an infrastructure grade standard, ready for whoever needs to review network compliance.
Every visit is planned around possessions and live operations, fitting engineering hours without disrupting the wider rail network.
Engineers follow strict induction and safety procedures on every visit, trained to work safely within live rail environments.
Documentation is built to an infrastructure grade standard, suited to the compliance needs of the wider rail network.
We plan renewal visits within upcoming possessions and engineering hours, so certification stays current without needing network access.
