Safe & Sustainable Rail Partner

The rail sector needs to be inherently safe – in the products that are used, the maintenance of these products, and the processes that are used to maintain them. One fault can import huge risk and potential fatalities.

This understanding underpins the entire thinking of our rail sector offerings:

• Ensuring that the materials we procure, manufacture and supply are fully compliant and fit for purpose
• Introducing sensors and data management to drive the use of predictive maintenance and ensure maximum asset performance
• Providing MRO services that service, maintain and overhaul rail equipment for traction & rolling stock and the infrastructure
• Partnering with experienced and innovative companies to bring the best possible technology for fitment to the system, as well as equipment use in process.

Product Assurance

Without product assurance and integrity in the railway sector, safety would be severely compromised, leading to increased accidents, unreliable train services, decreased confidence, and potential economic disruption.

Product assurance is the bedrock of safety and performance in the UK rail sector, encompassing both passenger and freight operations. In an industry where millions rely on trains daily, any compromise in quality can have catastrophic consequences. From ensuring the integrity of the track to the functionality of signalling systems, every component must meet rigorous standards to guarantee the seamless movement of both people and goods.

Measuring, Monitoring & Predictive Maintenance

Through Instrumentel – a world-leading provider of asset monitoring solutions for precision measurement in extreme environments – Unipart provides train owners and operators and the infrastructure operators with its Paradigm Insight platform that draws data from across their assets and issues alerts and informs their maintenance regimes with data insights, thus ensuring the asset delivers maximum operational capability.

This means that they avoid costly, disruptive and potentially harmful in-service failure.

MRO Services

Old and failing assets have the potential to cause devastating and life-threatening consequences. Our maintenance, repair and overhaul services enable our customers to keep their assets in peak condition without having to buy new. In addition to the sustainability benefits, we often are able to offer similar (or better warranties) compared to buying new.

Construction Solutions

The construction environment can be inherently unsafe, and in the Rail sector this is addressed with significantly high safety standards and processes. Working with our partners Thomson Engineering Design Ltd, we have brought to market a range of yellow plant equipment that is easier to use as well as deployable in areas where big equipment cannot be used – reducing the requirement for more manual approaches.

The range of battery powered tools from Racine Railroad products UK are designed to improve reliability, efficiency, and safety in railway operations. The lightweight and portable design and reduced hand arm vibration significantly increases safety for users. . 

Track Worker Safety

Finally, keeping the track workers safe forms part of our approach. Not only do we have in our portfolio a range of materials and equipment to help track workers stay safe, but we have also developed the TAWS (Train Approach Warning System) to add an extra layer of protection around those working on the track.
