The VolkerFitzpatrick Rail Division was created in September 1997 in response to the growth in the market for rail related construction work. Since 1997, the division has expanded to become an industry leader in the provision of stations, depots, signalling, telecommunications and general rail infrastructure.
We hold a Principle Contractor Licence and are Link-Up approved in many categories including all the main civil engineering and building categories.
Working in this specialist sector demands specialist skills, not only in civil engineering and building, but in the management techniques and methods required for the complex rail environment. VolkerFitzpatrick has invested significantly in recruiting, training and developing our staff, operatives and supply chain to ensure they are well placed to deliver for our rail clients.
Our core skills and expertise include:
- Station and depot construction/refurbishment
- Civil engineering works for signalling and telecommunications installations
- Platform surveys and gauge clearance works
- Specialist rail structures engineering, including road, rail and footbridge demolition, construction and refurbishment
- Civil engineering works in relation to sidings, track formation and marshalling yards
- Embankment and cutting stabilisation plus associated track drainage works
We are a market leader in delivering high quality projects of varying size and complexity, on time and within budget.
