Corus Rail Consultancy has beaten off stiff competition to be appointed as lead consultant for the assessment of structures for Network Rail’s Eastern Region.

The 10-year, £3m per year contract will provide Corus Rail Consultancy with on-going assessment work and will underpin the planned growth strategy.  The contract will involve site inspection, structural analysis, reporting and outline feasibility studies relating to a variety of bridges and other structures.

The awarding of this further contract proves Corus Rail Consultancy is continuing to deliver the most effective solutions for clients in an extremely competitive environment.

Kevin Sibson, Operations Director at Corus Rail Consultancy commented “The assessment of structures forms a vital part of Network Rail’s responsibility for the management of its infrastructure and we are particularly pleased to have been awarded this major contract. It will provide a secure workload for our staff enabling us to expand our team of specialist engineers and enhance our range of projects across the UK, underpinning our core strategy of continued growth and development.”
