The access that lets work happen on the network.
Over twenty years finding, planning and booking possessions, worksites, isolations and asset-protection agreements - through to safe, on-time delivery.
A live view of access, right across the network.
From a single possession on the East Coast Main Line to multi-TOC station works nationwide - planned, booked and tracked through to delivery. Every worksite, one clear picture.
From early access strategy to safe handback.
Specialist planning, purpose-built software and a trusted partner network across the whole access lifecycle - so the plan that gets approved is the plan that gets delivered.
01Strategic access planning
Early access strategy and engineering planning that maximises the windows your programme actually needs.
02Possessions & worksites
Possessions, T3s, line blockages and worksites planned, booked and deconflicted through PPS - including multi-TOC station works.
03Isolations
Electrical isolations and permits arranged and coordinated around the rest of the access plan.
04BAPA & asset protection
Basic Asset Protection Agreements established, commercially reviewed and overseen with Network Rail's ASPRO teams.
05Programme & project controls
Resource- and cost-loaded programmes, earned value and progress reporting in Primavera P6 and MS Project.
06Tender & bid programmes
Deliverable, defensible access and delivery programmes that strengthen tenders and win the work.
A clear route to the network.
Find
Scope the work and identify the access windows that fit.
Plan
Build the possession, worksite and isolation plan in detail.
Book
Submit and secure the access with the infrastructure manager.
Deliver
On-night support and assurance through to safe handback.
When the line goes quiet, everything's already in place.
Possession and isolation in place, documentation issued, resources and operatives connected and briefed - the worksite live and running to a plan that holds all the way through to a safe handback.
Access is the start. Oversight is the difference.
Stakeholder management
Aligning operators, infrastructure owners and contractors so the interfaces don't become the delays.
Training & mentoring
Bringing core individuals up to speed in access planning, systems and controls - where the capability needs to be built.
Reporting & risk
Keeping commercial exposure and track-safety risk sighted and mitigated - not discovered late on the night.
Elegant solutions
Cutting through complexity to plans that simply make sense - and hold up under scrutiny.
Stakeholder coordination
Operators, infrastructure managers and contractors kept aligned around one plan - so access is agreed once and delivered cleanly.
Training & mentoring
Building access-planning capability in your people - on the systems, controls and safety frameworks the network runs on.
Commercial oversight, built into the software.
Purpose-built software that gives clients a single, live view of access, cost and risk - so monitoring isn't a monthly catch-up, it's continuous. Bespoke to each programme, not off-the-shelf.
BAPA commercial review - agreements priced, checked and tracked, not just signed and filed.
Worksite & resource commercials - cost and resource handling kept honest across the whole programme.
Site documentation & oversight - the record and the monitoring in one place, ready for audit.
Plans that stand up to scrutiny.
Every plan is built and checked by someone who knows what the network will accept - so access is granted first time, and the night runs to plan.
Possession, T3 & line-blockage planning - built around the work, the timetable and the rules.
Isolations, BAPA & asset protection - set up and agreed with every party that needs to sign.
Controls & safe delivery - cost-loaded programmes, earned value, and the right people there on the night.
Specialist expertise, backed by software and delivery partners.
Over twenty years shaping, managing and delivering how access is planned, agreed and delivered across major UK rail programmes - from early access strategy through to safe, on-time delivery. A track record spanning infrastructure owners, passenger operators, principal contractors and joint ventures, with deep command of the systems, controls and safety frameworks that underpin rail engineering access.
A strong Network Rail background, today delivering station maintenance access for multiple TOCs - Avanti West Coast, First Rail London, Arriva Rail London, Greater Anglia, East Midlands Railway and Northern - under Network Rail possessions. Core focus: BAPA setup and oversight, PPS possession and worksite planning, deconfliction and multi-TOC station works.
Project Experts pairs that senior judgement with purpose-built software and a trusted network of planning and delivery partners - so capability scales to the programme, from a single possession through to a full planning or delivery team on the ground.
