Civil engineering contractors have urged the government to promote a more collaborative rail sector in order to deliver a world-class railway<\/h2>\n

In its response to the Williams Rail Review, set out to recommend the best way to organise the UK\u2019s rail sector and operations, Civil Engineering Contractors Association<\/a> (CECA) called for the principles of collaboration to extend to those carrying out rail construction.<\/p>\n

Looking at railway projects<\/a> carried out on the mainline, the most successful of these are generally supported by a collaborative relationship between operators, Network and contractors.<\/p>\n

Recent examples of this include Waterloo Station<\/a> Redevelopment, Nottingham Station Remodelling and Derby Station Remodelling. Earlier similar projects include Evergreen 1 and 2 which upgraded the Chiltern Route. In these cases, a rational balance between disrupting users and improving the infrastructure<\/a> was achieved. In parallel, information campaigns were used to explain to users what will happen and how things will improve.<\/p>\n

Commenting, CECA Rail Director Bill Free said: \u201cCECA welcomes the opportunity to respond to the Rail Review, and is in favour of the principles outlined in its scope.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe current siloed railway structure between track, train and project delivery has driven inefficient delivery of railway projects \u2013 leading to higher costs for rail users and taxpayers.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome projects break this mould and are delivered successfully. \u00a0We commend the recent Rail Sector Deal and plans to roll out Digital Railway on the East Coast Mainline \u2013 which point the way to a true collaboration across all parties in the railway.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuch collaborative working must also go hand in hand with Early Contractor Involvement in order to prioritise the interests of passengers and taxpayers and deliver our much needed world-class railway.\u201d<\/p>\n
