Balfour Beatty Rail Systems & Solutions provide specialist input to the various Balfour Beatty Rail businesses and end clients, in the form of innovation, new technology, professional consultancy and special trackwork. Two distinct elements of the business cover design and manufacture of trackwork and technology-based products and services.
Track Systems specialises in the design, manufacture and supply of special trackwork, switches and crossings which can be delivered as a modular assembly with the advantage of minimum on-track installation time. We have been manufacturing special trackwork and associated components for over 150 years. The scope of our capabilities was increased with the acquisition of Edgar Allen Limited (who have specialised in cast manganese crossings) in 2006. We are one of the few companies possessing the necessary expertise and resources to undertake all aspects of large or small projects in-house.
Technologies provides innovative solutions to enhance railway infrastructure asset performance and specialises in signalling, track inspection, track geometry and structure gauging, the latter of which were gained through the acquisition of Laser Rail Limited in 2007 and retain this branding. We retain a strong Research & Development team within our business which continues to develop step change solutions such as Embedded Rail Slab Track and offers direct consultancy in Value Engineering, Risk Management and Civil Engineering sectors. Change Management methodologies are used to maximise the benefits for our customers. A recent example is the realisation of benefits in the maintenance and renewals processes for our sister company Balfour Beatty Rail Services who were successful in the “6 to 4” challenge by Network Rail.
Our primary objective is to develop solutions which allow our customers to focus on their key business drivers.
Our belief is that we have the fundamental knowledge and systems within our sector to innovate these solutions.
