Route Development and Upgrades
Route development and upgrades demand a combination of skills
from technical and specialist disciplines to achieve the optimum
solution. Different project objectives are required for freight
(low-speed) to passenger (high-speed), or light rail/metro systems.
Optioneering studies embracing engineering, environmental,
political and financial effects on a scheme are vital in achieving
a successful project. Route development schemes also require
support from a variety of stakeholders affected by the scheme,
whether by the impact from noise due to freight operations or by
land acquisition issues from high speed route developments.

Scott Wilson has extensive experience in the design of route
development and upgrade projects. Scott Wilson is able to offer a
totally integrated approach to railway consultancy. In-house
expertise in core engineering skills such as permanent way,
signalling, overhead line equipment power systems, points heating,
lighting, communication, operations planning and civil engineering,
allow us to assign suitably qualified and experienced staff with
the right skill sets to ensure delivery and best value for the
client.
Our core railway engineering skills are supported by a full
range of multi-disciplinary management and design skills within the
Scott Wilson Group, including business consultancy, environmental
management and specialist engineering in areas such as geotechnical
and tunnelling. Scott Wilson has invested in the development of
best practice programmes and processes, significantly in relation
to the management and engineering of major railway upgrade schemes,
based on our experience gained on major projects.
