What We Offer

Railway Services

At Invicta Rail, we specialise in delivering a comprehensive range of railway services tailored to meet the diverse needs of the UK’s rail infrastructure. Our expertise spans from minor maintenance tasks to major infrastructure projects, ensuring the safety, efficiency, and reliability of railway operations nationwide. We support both planned works and reactive maintenance, adapting quickly to changing site requirements and project scopes.

Working with Network Rail, Tier 1 contractors, and regional infrastructure managers, our goal is to maintain high standards of delivery across all areas of trackside and structural work. Our services are performed by qualified operatives trained in working trackside, ensuring compliance with railway regulations and safe systems of work.

Brick Repair

Brick structures are integral to the railway network, and their maintenance is crucial for structural integrity and safety. Our brick repair services encompass masonry and brick repairs, including recasing, stitching, and date tabbing. We also specialise in repairing structures such as arches, tunnels, and culverts, ensuring they meet current safety standards while preserving their historical significance. Repairs are completed using durable materials and traditional methods that respect the original design.

Earthworks

Maintaining stable earthworks is vital for the safety and longevity of railway lines. Our earthworks services include earthwork regrades to correct slope failures, reactive emergency callouts for stabilisation, and the installation of legato blocks and gabion baskets. We also offer embankment monitoring using advanced systems like Senceive tilt monitors, providing real-time data to preempt potential issues. Our team manages complex terrain and restricted access sites with confidence, using both mechanical and manual methods for optimal control.

Lineside Support

Ensuring safe and efficient access to railway lines is essential for maintenance and emergency response. Our lineside support services include access point upgrades, installation of concrete slab and brick steps, construction of walkways, and various fencing solutions such as chainlink, palisade, stock, and mesh fencing. We also construct concrete bases using precast concrete units and reinforced concrete slabs, and install under track crossings (UTX) to facilitate safe and efficient lineside operations. Each element is designed for resilience, safety, and long-term usability.

Lineside Repairs

Regular maintenance of lineside infrastructure is crucial to prevent disruptions and ensure safety. Our lineside repair services encompass a range of tasks, including the repair and replacement of fencing, walkways, and access points. We also address issues related to concrete bases and under track crossings, ensuring that all lineside elements are in optimal condition. Fast mobilisation and experienced teams ensure minimal downtime during essential repairs.

Minor Works

Minor works play a significant role in the overall maintenance of railway infrastructure. Our services in this area include rabbit and fox burrow grouting to prevent ground instability, drainage ditching and installation to manage water flow, and drainage CCTV surveys and jetting to identify and clear blockages. We also specialise in timber bridge deck renewals, ensuring the continued safety and functionality of these structures. Each project is documented and delivered to high safety and environmental standards.

Engineering Support

Precision and accuracy are paramount in railway engineering. Our engineering support services cover track monitoring in accordance with CIV/177 standards, manual peg embankment monitoring, structure monitoring, and setting out. These services ensure that all engineering works are executed with the highest level of accuracy, maintaining the integrity of the railway infrastructure. Our data supports planning, compliance, and asset management activities across the network.

Platform Repairs

Platforms are critical for passenger safety and comfort. Our platform repair services include comprehensive upgrades, waterproofing, tactile installation for visually impaired passengers, coper installation, and tarmac surfacing. We also install fencing to enhance safety and security. Our recent projects on the C2C lines in Essex demonstrate our capability to deliver high-quality platform improvements efficiently. We provide both planned refurbishment and emergency interventions for platform defects.

Vegetation Management

Uncontrolled vegetation can pose significant risks to railway operations. Our vegetation management services include herbicide spraying to control weed growth, deployment of tree climbers for the removal of hazardous branches, and comprehensive lineside vegetation clearance. These services are essential for maintaining clear sightlines, preventing damage to infrastructure, and ensuring the safety of railway operations. We also manage invasive species, implement seasonal programmes, and support ecological compliance.
