Optimise commuter and national rail assets and operations
Whether a rail client is approaching a critical asset renewal cycle, looking to achieve operational excellence and reliability in daily service, or to produce efficiencies in a maintenance programme, we can help.

So much can now be learned about an asset’s performance, enabling predictions about lifespan, maintenance needs and improvements to operation. The right data can enable better decision making, including which maintenance interventions to make and when. Getting the right data – whether there is too much or not enough – is always a major hurdle. We help our clients to develop and implement predictive and preventative digital asset management programmes.
Digital plays a key role in predicting future passenger demand and maximisation of your assets’ lifespans. We also use digital tools to find ways to increase rail resilience, reduce carbon emissions and embed circular economy principles to minimise waste, and improve or extend whole life value.
Beyond asset management, we also support operators, devise strategies to increase capacity and improve reliability across their services and improve efficiencies across their operations. From timetable change and impact assessments to optimisation strategies across services and business, our experts help clients to deliver higher performing railways.
Intelligent infrastructure in the rail industry brings real time performance updates and predictive maintenance information, resulting in cost savings and efficiency. Working with Network Rail we are participating in a major change programme, 'Offering Rail Better Information Services' (ORBIS) to revolutionise the way information is captured, stored, managed and exploited across the network.
We are delivering four of the key ORBIS projects in Network Rail’s Control Period 5 plan:
- Rail Infrastructure Network Model (RINM) Data Acquisition
- Exchange of Asset Information (EAI)
- Ellipse Exploitation (EE)
- Decision Support Tools (DST)
