Part of The XRAIL Group of companies, The XRAIL Group and CS Civils deliver safe, sustainable minor civils services to a broad range of clients both on and off the UK’s railway infrastructure.

From the excavation and installation of buried services, trial holes and under track crossings to the construction of both new and extended platforms. Our dedicated minor civils teams deliver value-driven, reliable services throughout the nation.

A leading provider of both ancillary and minor civils services, we work in partnership with major international contractors, government departments and numerous smaller firms. Helping them deliver their projects on time and on budget. These organisations benefit from our highly skilled, specialist workforce, who, when combined with our senior management team, take a uniquely tailored approach to each project.

By treating each client and site as individuals and by training and equipping our teams to the very highest standards. We help ensure a positive and profitable outcome to our client’s projects.

  • The excavation and installation of UTX (under track crossings)
  • Installation of concrete signal gantry bases
  • The installation of signage both on and off the railway
  • Installation of REB, DNO and LOC foundations

Health, safety and sustainability

From surveyors and concrete finishers to joiners and utilities specialists, at any one time we can have over a hundred operatives working on our sites. A regular sight on some of the nation’s most prestigious and often complex projects, The XRAIL Group has a constant presence within a truly diverse range of sectors.

With such a large workforce and a varied work bank, it’s inevitable that quality, health, safety and sustainability have assumed paramount importance within our organisation.

As part of our commitment to minimising the effect of our work upon all stakeholders, we’ve put in place a series of systems, programmes and procedures. At their centre can be found our Network Rail Principal Contractor’s Licence, ISO 9001 Quality Management System, ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, OHSAS 18001 Health and Safety Management System, RISQS and UVDB accreditations. Our comprehensive training programmes run alongside these systems to ensure that our teams hold competency cards which, in turn, allow them to work in a variety of sensitive and safety critical environments.
