We understand that in the rail sector, railway downtime can be extremely costly and disruptive, and minimising line closures is imperative. Our portable roadways enable safe pedestrian and vehicular access to within feet of a fully operational railway line, which means you can get on with the job in hand, and so can the trains!
TPA's rail sector department is led by a dedicated Rail Manager with over 27 years experience, who is able to provide expert advice and guidance based on a wealth of first-hand experience and problem solving.
From your initial call, our Field Engineers can be on site in under 3 hours to conduct a full site survey. From the results of the survey, our engineers will recommend the most effective and efficient solution, complete with a full project risk assessment and method statement. Where required, the installation can be project managed by one of our experienced rail experts.
