A secure electrical supply underpins society’s vital communications functions. Electricity, signalling and telecommunications issues are therefore central to any infrastructure project. We have extensive expertise in meeting the stringent demands of rail traffic and work together with a number of road and rail contractors, track owners and infrastructure consultants.
