Rail: Tag & Trace Surveys

Born of our signalling, power and communication cabling heritage, our high-quality Tag and Trace surveys, are used to help enable and design some of the largest civil engineering projects in the world.

Full trace, tag, labelling and reporting - with optional cable testing, load monitoring and correlation - saves our clients hundreds of thousands of pounds in design improvements and avoiding cable strike, service interruptions and project delays.

Providing tag and trace services to HS2, Crossrail, Network Rail and many infrastructure enhancements and upgrades around the UK, we do this as part of a wider site survey or design phase in support of consultants or ECI commissions or pre-construction to enable Tier 1 contractors to progress with confidence.

For HS2, then the largest infrastructure project in Europe, our tag, trace, load monitoring and further substation surveys of 990 cables on behalf of the appointed consultant at Old Oak Common de-risked subsequent construction of the TMB launch and new station box.

For Network Rail, on behalf of their Tier 1 appointed contractor at London Bridge, we used a series of mid-week night possessions to tag and trace 33 over-subscribed OTXs, helping to improve system and physical safety in our solution.

Infrastructure is more-connected than ever before - enhancing operations and customer experience. It also means many more power, telecommunications, CCTV and signalling cables to be potentially disturbed and damaged. A single cable strike can knock out major rail system circuits incurring massive costs and major headaches for a project – a risk we can help avoid or eliminate.
