Why us?

  • Suburban train on Platform 14 SXS

    Comprehensive Planning Solutions.

    Our end-to-end approach ensures that clients receive comprehensive rail operations plans for both greenfield and brownfield rail projects utilising proven and innovative methods.

  • MCG Overpass

    Rail Network Performance Optimisation.

    Our use of advanced modelling tools allows us to optimise infrastructure and signalling designs for maximum efficiency, enhancing throughput and capacity, and ultimately improving overall system performance.

  • Realistic Simulations

    Realistic Simulations.

    We have the ability to simulate various scenarios in RailSys, including regular timetable, special events and degraded mode scenarios. This ensures that our planning covers the various factors that may impact rail operations on a day-to-day basis and enables more realistic outputs that are reflective of in-situ rail operations.

  • Skyrail

    Adaptability.

    We tailor our services to each client's specific needs, whether they involve greenfield or brownfield projects, passenger or freight systems.

Our Services

  • Rail Operations Expertise

    Our team possesses extensive knowledge and experience in rail operations planning, encompassing both passenger and freight systems. We understand the intricacies of rail networks, signalling systems, regulations, safety standards, and industry best practices. We can assist in the development of various rail operational documentation including concept of operations, rail operating plans, service specifications, and performance analysis.

  • Rail Timetable Modelling

    Our proficiency in utilising advanced rail timetable modelling tools, such as RailSys, enables us to accurately evaluate the suitability of infrastructure concepts as well as develop bespoke rail timetables that are tailored to the needs of the client. We can model various operational scenarios, assess capacity constraints, optimise resource utilisation, and identify potential network bottlenecks.

  • Greenfield Rail Projects

    We excel in planning for new rail systems from the ground up. Our experts can evaluate the feasibility of new rail networks, propose optimal routes, develop infrastructure layouts, and design efficient operational strategies to ensure successful project implementation.

  • Brownfield Rail Projects

    Our capabilities extend to enhancing existing rail systems. We conduct thorough assessments of current rail networks, identifying areas for improvement and optimisation. We then develop strategies to improve operations, improve capacity, and integrate new technologies seamlessly.

  • Requirements Analysis and Definition

    We specialise in gathering, evaluating, and translating complex stakeholder requirements into clear and concise documentation that meets the needs of all project stakeholders. Our team can decompose high-level client requirements into system level and technical level requirements, with an ability to test requirements compliance for reference designs and tender submissions.

  • Technical Knowhow

    Our experts have a deep understanding of rail technologies encompassing signalling systems (both conventional and HCS) and rolling stock, as well as intimate knowledge of operations as it relates to the various rail operators. This knowledge allows us to make informed recommendations for project enhancements and upgrades.

  • Rail Strategy

    We provide a rail strategy development capability with a focus on efficient and effective rail network outcomes. We meticulously study rail networks, devising strategies to enhance route planning, operational procedures, and resource utilisation. Through cutting-edge tools and industry expertise, we engineer streamlined rail solutions, empowering clients to elevate their operational performance, reduce complexities, and achieve remarkable outcomes.

  • Multi-Disciplinary Collaboration

    We foster collaboration among diverse teams, including engineers, planners, designers, rail operators, and government stakeholders. Our ability to bridge communication gaps ensures seamless project coordination and delivery.
