Asset Renewal & Upgrade

We have expertise in GoA4 design & build, upgrade and operations

We have extensive experience in Operations and Maintenance of GoA4 systems. As one of the worlds first operator of GoA4 rail networks, we pioneered the set-up of driverless systems, transitioning from one technology to another, implementing multi-year extensions that interface and integrate green and brownfield infrastructure, with minimal impact to operations, and commuter journeys.
