All works are planned in detail in advance by our in house rail experienced managers including CREs and SSOW planners. Principles of prevention are applied from the earliest stages of works planning whether the project is Design and Build or Traditional Build.

Detailed Works Package Plans, Safe Work Packs and Task Briefings are produced for all work activities.

We use our knowledge of railway working to plan and develop the most efficient and safe systems of work suitable for each project. In addition to assessing the technical requirements and risks of the specific construction activities, HA Marks managers also understand the additional risks arising from working on an operational railway. Platform works have the additional constraints of managing risks arising from passengers, station staff, moving trains and OLE/ third rail.
