02 / Capabilities

What we self-deliver.

Self-delivery on OHL, station civils and adjacent drainage. For signalling S&T and track renewals, we work with long-term partners — always named, always transparent.

Self-delivery — OHL & civils

Our in-house OHL team is 48 strong, with three RRV fleets working independent weekends. The civils team handles platform edges, lift shafts, concrete bases and station-side drainage.

Supply-chain — S&T, track

Long-term partnerships with Babcock for signalling, and Amey for plain-line track renewals. Joint-venture billing; one project manager; one weekend programme.
