When your project involves undertaking work adjacent to the operational railway, the likelihood is, you will need a construction partner who really understands the unique requirements of Network Rail and their diverse range of associated stakeholders. A team that can take full accountability for the deliverables and outcomes expected and who will guide you step by step through every crucial stage in the lifecycle of your railway lineside project.
But don’t just take our word for it, Suttle Projects work directly for Network Rail on long term delivery frameworks and discrete projects. We are highly familiar with the extensive demands preparing for and working around the railway and the associated process and the procedural challenges, the depth of submission details required, and the key timelines faced.
By way of example, we were appointed as one of six contractors by Network Rail on the Structural Integrity Southern, (SIS) Framework. A programme established to provide preventative and emergency maintenance of Network Rail infrastructure assets.
The Suttle Projects approach is to simplify projects by focusing on creativity, reliability, productivity, and sustainability in doing so blending innovation and experience to deliver better solutions with more certain outcomes. A testament to this approach is that 313 of 579, 54% of all SIS Framework projects, were awarded to Suttle Projects, totalling £1.8m. Thereby delivering more customer projects and providing better value and certainty than all the other SIS Framework suppliers combined.
Network Rail Project Manager, Buildings & Civils, Stephen Gillen described in his own words his experience of working with Suttle Projects around the operational railway, how our approach to simplifying all aspects of project pre-planning, coordination and engagement with stakeholders, and efficient delivery minimised disruption and risks to their projects.
“Not only was the work undertaken by Suttles Projects on the Structural Integrity Framework at a very good standard, they owned, delivered and managed the planning in order to meet Network Rail’s tight deadlines. I was impressed how they were able to problem solve by understanding the risk on site against customer impact. Their vision aligned with Network Rail by keeping it simple, even at the more complicated sites, creating a greener and better railway. Suttle Projects have always been a strong partner with Network Rail, consistently showing reliability and great understanding of the client’s needs.”
