Our design team has proven experience in managing design sub-contracts, both in the UK and abroad. As a result, we have access to greater resources and can offer clients an enhanced working capacity; we also give clients the added benefit that all work is reviewed by XRAIL, thereby ensuring every piece of work meets our standards of accuracy and presentation.
Increasingly, organisations are benefiting from the expertise of foreign contractors. Many technology specialities reside overseas in places like Toronto, Canada, and there is a number of major design houses in India, with whom we have strong links. Because of our close association with these companies, we trust them to help deliver our clients’ high expectations.
XRAIL maintains a high level of interface with our sub-contractors, providing mentorship on technical levels, through training, guidance and close supervision.
We offer turnkey solutions to ensure works involving signalling modifications or new installations are progressed and controlled.

A thorough and systematic process of safety assurance is essential to ensure that systems or equipment achieve acceptable, or tolerable, safety levels before they enter use.
XRAIL offers design assurance and design risk assessments both on our own designs and to complement designs supplied by a client.

System integration entails successfully bringing all sub-systems together so they function together as a whole.
The route to successful integration begins at the start of the development lifecycle, through the creation of appropriate interface specifications to define and control the way in which the sub-systems will operate together once they have been commissioned. This is achieved firstly by maintaining these interface specifications as the design and development of each sub-system evolves; and secondly through the development of procedures to test the behaviour of each system, both on its own and within the overall system.
XRAIL has a thorough knowledge and experience of the gamut of railway systems. This gives us the broad range of skills necessary to establish the root cause of any latent problem within a sub-system which could affect the overall performance of that system.
XRAIL delivers a range of Installation and Testing system activities. We employ Institute of Railway Signal Engineers (IRSE) licensed competent engineers to undertake your safety and non-vital Installation and testing requirements.
We can provide IRSE licensed staff to undertake:
Our highly respected partners can also extend the following services to ease your integration on-site to other systems:
