ESL can deliver end-to-end civil engineering solutions for a range of infrastructure projects. Our design team is led by Chartered Civil Engineers with a wealth of rail sector experience.
As well as undertaking detailed design for a range of ‘standard’ line-side assets, ESL’s team have worked on a range of complex engineering problems. From complex load assessments on existing support structures to staging designs for assets that need to be constructed without disruption to the operational rail network.
We can draw on our industry knowledge and construction experience to derive designs that incorporate the safest and most efficient approaches to delivering a quality product in an often constrained environment.
The application of a value engineering approach to rail civils assets can have an enormous impact on the out-turn cost, as well as the environmental impact of the schemes. This could be due to the volume of assets being installed, even the smallest of improvements to standard designs can have a massive benefit through the reduction of materials and the cost and impact of installation.
Our designers are encouraged to think creatively about these challenges and to work closely with our construction teams to determine the best solutions available.
