TrackPan solutions

The TrackPan system is engineered and designed in partnership with Unipart Rail to protect the environment from contamination caused by spillages and leaks on the rail network.

Rail Depot Maintenance Design

Rail maintenance depots are far more than just places to park trains. They are dynamic, multifaceted hubs of activity, where maintenance, repair, and overhaul operations are carried out around the clock. This creates a unique set of design challenges, requiring careful consideration of workflow, safety, and the integration of diverse technical systems.

With over 25 years of experience specializing in rail depot design, we have a deep understanding of these complexities. We’ve successfully delivered projects for over 50 maintenance depots across the UK, from small, regional facilities to large, national hubs. This extensive experience has equipped us with the knowledge and expertise to navigate the intricacies of designing for active, operational environments.

We don’t just create designs; we forge partnerships. Our dedicated account managers work closely with your depot teams, engineers, and key stakeholders throughout the entire project lifecycle. This collaborative approach ensures that our designs are not only technically sound but also seamlessly integrated with your operational needs and safety protocols.

We thrive on finding innovative solutions to the unique challenges that rail depots present. Whether it’s optimizing space utilization, improving workflow efficiency, or integrating cutting-edge technology, we are committed to delivering designs that enhance safety, boost productivity, and support the long-term success of your operations.
