The rail business offers a range of asset management services that cover the main components of an operational railway (people, processes, assets and information) and six asset types — rail vehicles, track and structures, control and signalling, electrification, telecoms and customer information systems.

Our signalling design teams have the capacity to undertake signalling work from outline feasibility studies to scheme design and detailed design, signalling and telecoms specialists provide installation, testing and commissioning on full-scale remodelling programmes, as well as services on smaller technical investigation works. We are in a position to offer clients a true multi-disciplinary service through our collaboration with other disciplines such as civil infrastructure, track, building services and electrification, thus delivering a fully integrated transport solution.

Rail property includes stations, depots, lineside buildings and associated developments that involve the railway system. Our strong property/rail infrastructure and passenger modelling expertise is complemented by commercial, architectural, structural and building services from the wider group. This combination allows us to offer clients a complete solution, be it for a full transport interchange or a metro station.

GhiGL has communication and stakeholder management strategy in place. These are arguably the most important ingredients for the successful delivery of the Master Plan. A stakeholder and communication plan will be developed to cater for the demands of both MRD and other stakeholders.

Our civil engineers offer expertise in the design, development and management of rail infrastructure systems. With extensive knowledge and understanding of the many elements of operational rail networks and their interfaces, they support clients throughout the full project-lifecycle, which includes feasibility studies, planning, system specification, detailed design, tender preparation and evaluation, construction management, condition surveys, assessments, rehabilitation programmes and maintenance, and whole-life support.

Our rail consultancy services are delivered to all key rail markets. From bespoke permanent-way consultancy to project planning and development, we are involved in projects of varying sizes for a diverse range of clients. More recently we have been involved in a series of strategic rail consultancy commissions. These differ from the ‘normal’ studies, in that the client has often required an assessment of an entire rail operation from a strategic perspective.

We provide services across all work streams. These include design management, programme and risk management, project information systems and construction management services.

GhiGL has risk management capabilities with the sole purpose of applying processes for identifying, assessing and controlling threats as well as optimising opportunities to an organisation’s capital and earnings. These threats or opportunities could stem from a wide variety of sources, including financial uncertainty, legal liabilities, strategic management errors, accidents and natural disasters.
