Route Developments 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. Over the
last three to five years, we have been commissioned on every high
profile major upgrade project within the UK.
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, OLE 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.
