Careers in Rail from RJN International - No1 for Jobs

When extreme weather conditions strike, it often shows just how difficult it is to continue for rail transportation to operate efficiently. When track drainage systems, river and stream channels and other under rail crossings fail to work effectively, it is increasingly challenging to meet the transportation's high demand.

The leading Rail Operators responsible for the national railway in the UK and as the number of passengers is growing; pressure is really mounting on the railway company. The Rail Operators are determined to transport more passengers, move more merchandise, improve safety and reduce delays ' all at a reduced cost.

The need to minimise disruption for passengers during engineering is top priority. Therefore the Rail Operators utilise Trenchless Technology known to be the best solution for installing installing, upgrading or rehabilitating trackside and under track drainage, whilst rail operations carry on as normal. Over the past 30 years Trenchless Technology has been a regular feature on rail related projects, as the rehabilitation method is cost effective and combines advantageous techniques and processes to ensure minimal disruption.

Guided Auger Boring is a trenchless technique and the optimum solution for the installation of pipes and beams for railway projects. Guided Auger Boring is beneficial especially when there are accuracy and surface movement restrictions, along with limited trackside access. The trenchless method of Directional Drilling is used for the installation of pipes and ducts under live rail; this is particularly advantageous to the railway industry as the process is cost effective and accurate. Pipe Bursting is a Trenchless technique used when gravity sewer pipes or ducts need to be replaced or resized. The benefit to the rehabilitated system is that it can outperform original pipes in terms of its strength and flow capacity. Pipe Bursting can also be operated from existing manholes which is an additional benefit. Eco CIPP lining is ideal for the quick rehabilitation of worn out and damaged gravity sewers, trackside drainage and ducts. The advantage of this method is that Eco CIPP lining can be installed from existing manholes, it requires no access pits and has no interference to rail operations. Slip-lining is a trenchless rehabilitation technique that involves a flexible pipe of a slightly smaller diameter being slid through an existing pipe. The economical repair solution is typically used in situations where an existing pipe has minor structural problems or corrosion.

Trenchless technology has numerous techniques and construction methods to bring benefits to the rail industry. For additional information or a quote on any of the trenchless services call Perco ' The UK Leader in Trenchless Technology, 01604 590200.
