Lanes has a full division devoted to servicing the Rail industry, thanks to our long history working on the London Underground system and, more recently, the Network Rail infrastructure across the rest of the country.
All Lanes’ rail contracts involving the London Underground system (whether for Transport for London, London Underground Limited or Tube Lines Limited) are managed by our London/Rainham depot. This comprehensive and wide ranging service goes far beyond drains. Here, an experienced and dedicated rail team provides rail asset management as a multi-disciplined contractor (click here for more information), including a 24/7 reactive service; preventive maintenance and given projects awarded under various framework agreements.
On the Network Rail infrastructure, we provide standard drainage services through our local depot network. This includes, for instance, blockage removals at railway stations; CCTV surveys of platform and station drainage; or cleaning and CCTV surveying of trackside drainage. Sewer or drain rehabilitation (reline) is directly undertaken directly by our specialist Sewer Renovation Division.
A specialist Rail team based at our Manchester hub also manages a rolling programme of rail culvert maintenance and asset condition surveys through Network Rail’s main contractor, Amco.
