Supporting
the Rail Sector

Mabey Hire delivers fully engineered temporary works solutions for rail signalling projects, supporting safe, efficient installation of OHL systems, cable runs, and associated infrastructure. Our expertise ensures minimal disruption during possessions, with solutions designed for live rail environments where access, safety, and precision are critical.

We deliver engineered temporary works for all aspects of rail drainage, including pipe runs, flood prevention, culvert works, and surface water management. Effective drainage is critical to maintaining track stability, preventing flooding and erosion, and ensuring uninterrupted rail operations. Working within active rail corridors, we address the challenges of restricted access, buried utilities, complex ground conditions, and the need for continuous train movement—all while meeting the highest safety and environmental standards.

We deliver engineered temporary works across rail track projects—slewing, widening, new track construction, UTX installations, switches & crossings upgrades, level crossings, overhead gantry and signalling. Working in live rail environments with tight possessions, complex ground, utilities, and stringent safety constraints, we manage the risks that drive time and cost: precise geometry control, deep/shored excavations, heavy lifts, access in confined corridors, environmental protection and real-time monitoring.

We deliver fully engineered temporary works for bridge structure projects across the lifecycle—new builds, widening, strengthening, deck and bearing replacements, abutment and arch repairs, pier replacement, resurfacing, pedestrian bridges, and site access. Typical challenges—keeping traffic moving, working over water, tight urban footprints, heavy lifts, complex foundations, and strict environmental controls—are solved with integrated solutions that combine access, support, lifting, monitoring, and traffic management.
