Through successfully winning established national Civils frameworks, we have developed a skilled, dedicated and dynamic workforce led by experienced project management teams. This, coupled with the support of key supply chain partners, allows us to ensure the successful delivery of our planned and reactive workbank portfolio; including the ability to respond to emergency responses across the UK within 2-hours.

Working closely with design partners and our supply chain we are able to ensure that from initial project inception to completion we create a buildable, efficient, safe and maintainable solution.

Our extensive experience, detailed understanding of stakeholder’s expectations and extensive specialist plant fleet, gives our project management and delivery teams the opportunity to devise unique methodologies minimising reliance on possessions without compromising safety of the operational railway.

Geotechnical and Earthworks and Structural Renewals Expertise

CIVIL ENGINEERING CASE STUDIES:

Fencing

Rothbury Terrace

This site, situated on the ECM5 downside, was a particular target for trespass. With a Network Rail depot on the other side of the fence, the client was seeing an increase in young people breaking through and vandalising carriages.

Newcastle United Football Club

This job had to be completed out with a very short window of time – after the football season ended and before the pre-season training began, leaving only a 5 week period in which we had access to carry out the job.

National Fencing Framework

QTS is a National Fencing Framework contractor, having delivered in excess of 750,000m fencing to date. We manage projects from inception to completion in collaboration with Network Rail, including all key stakeholders (e.g. landowners, statutory bodies, lineside neighbours).
