Project 7 Rail

Railways are seeing a renaissance across the globe. Privatisation, continuing economic growth and ecological targets are some of the challenges that now face governments and train operators, and Project 7 is positioned to provide a range of vital transition services.

The constraints of densely populated cities and the rising costs of new rail infrastructure have resulted in engineers and operators focusing on maximising the efficiency of the existing networks. The industry continues to demand technological and engineering innovation but recognises that the industry still suffers with centuries old working practices.

Recent strategies have focused on recruiting executives and senior leaders from both the automotive and aerospace sector, but whilst this approach has resulted in some improvements, a lack of clear Business Objectives, Cultural Change Programmes and World Class Leadership Behaviours, means the benefits are not fully realised.

  • Train Manufacturing
  • Engineering
  • Procurement
  • New Train Introduction
  • Reliability Growth (New / Existing Trains)
  • Maintenance / Heavy Maintenance / Overhaul / Refurbishment
  • Contracts Management
  • Culture Change / Leadership Behaviours / Continuous Improvement
  • Infrastructure Performance (Track / Signals / Stations)
  • Lease Company 'Asset Management' (Asset Introduction / Handback)
