NETWORK RAIL’S UNPRECEDENTED CHALLENGES

.

“The ‘Spine’ project demonstrates NG Bailey’s bold

and pioneering approach to engineering and

clearly highlights the benefit that BIM and offsite

solutions can deliver.

Their engineering skills ensured passengers and

trains remained undisrupted.

The team also managed to shorten the overall

project time, creating both time and costs savings

for Network Rail.” Chris Montgomery

Project director at Network Rail
