Technology

We combine digital engineering, automation and engineer-led AI to give clients better information about their assets, from the first survey through design, delivery and maintenance, in every sector we work in.

Capabilities

Tools and methods that cut rework and find errors before they reach site.

  • Non-intrusive surveying

    Subsurface models from ultrasonic, subsonic and Lidar data, X-ray surveys of legacy equipment and HD tunnel imaging, with no shutdowns and fewer trial holes.

    Scope
    • 3D subsurface models, 98% accurate within a 10m grid, in place of traditional trial holes
    • X-ray surveys of legacy switching equipment without power shutdowns
    • Spheron HD tunnel surveys, viewable on site on a tablet
    • Three-person survey crews, cutting manpower by 70% and reducing trackside exposure

  • Point-cloud, drone and 360 survey

    Point-cloud survey, drone-assisted inspection and 360 degree imaging, giving design teams accurate site conditions from a single visit.

  • BIM and digital delivery

    5D BIM covering space, time and cost, with a common data environment, automated clash detection and a full digital handover.

    Scope
    • BIM Execution Plans and a common data environment in ProjectWise
    • Automated clash detection during design
    • Signal and equipment siting from project-wide 3D models
    • Digital handover with maintenance and operational data

  • Engineer-led AI

    Asset intelligence, document review, anomaly detection and predictive maintenance, always reviewed by competent engineers and never autonomous over safety-critical design.

    Scope
    • AI-assisted diagnostics and anomaly detection in SCADA
    • Automated design query and log system to reduce common-mode error
    • 3D asset validation and digital twin models for maintenance planning

  • Process control and automation

    DCS, PLC, SCADA and SSI systems, designed and integrated across signalling, telecoms and utilities.

  • Project controls

    Primavera P6, Microsoft Project and Power BI for programme, cost-value reconciliation, risk and document control, with live dashboards.

    Scope
    • Resource scheduling in Microsoft Project, linked to Power BI, Power Automate and Power Apps
    • Live Microsoft 365 dashboards for performance and safety reporting
    • Continuous risk identification and mitigation
    • Regular quality reviews and audits against client standards
