Representing approximately 16% of our global business, the railway sector is one of Arcadis core markets, a position it has held throughout our 150 year history. We have an enviable reputation for delivery of some of the UK’s, and indeed the World’s, most prestigious and challenging schemes.

Our UK Rail Team continues to add to their impressive list of project awards and recent successes have seen them secure some of the UK’s most high profile, complex and stimulating projects to complement their existing portfolio of works. The current schemes are diverse and technically complicated and include London Bridge Station Redevelopment, Crossrail 2, Crossrail West Station Upgrades, Holborn and Camden LU stations and London Overground Stations at Barking Riverside and Old Oak Common. We have also completed a number of bridge schemes as part of our role on the Wessex framework.
