Fabricated steel structures for rail infrastructure.

Trackside steel sees weather, vibration, and an inspection regime long after the installation crew has left. We engineer to that brief.

What we provide

Fabricated steel structures and equipment housings for rail infrastructure projects. Each is built to the project drawing pack and finished for long service life in trackside conditions.

Where projects require specific certifications, standards or inspection regimes, we work to the nominated requirement.

Project information and responsibility

Inputs, deliverables and responsibility boundaries for a rail structure project
What to send usAsset, route and assurance information

Equipment or asset layout; structural loads; route and civils interfaces; access and clearance constraints; cable entries; site exposure; lifting and installation method; rail project standards; assurance requirements; inspection plan; and programme.

Garendon deliverablesFabricated structure and agreed evidence

The scope can include equipment housings or support steelwork, coordinated interfaces, coating, inspection records, material traceability and the quality documents required for project handover.

Responsibility boundarySteelwork to the approved project pack

The client and rail system designer retain responsibility for railway-system design, approvals, electrical and EMC performance, route clearance, possessions and site constraints. Garendon is responsible for the contracted steel structure and its documented fabrication requirements.

Standards and inspectionMatched to the project assurance route

Where applicable, the EN 1090 execution requirements, welding quality level, NDT, coating inspection, hold points and release records are agreed before production.

Common questions

What rail infrastructure structures do you fabricate?

Fabricated steel structures and equipment housings for rail infrastructure projects, built to the project drawing pack and finished for long service life in trackside conditions.

How is fabrication quality controlled?

Where EN 1090 applies, the execution requirements and class are agreed for the project, with welding and inspection records matched to the specified scope.

Can you work to a rail project programme?

Yes. Design, manufacture and coating are managed through one coordinated project, keeping the programme and accountability in one place.
