Preston-based Eric Wright Rail (EWR), the specialist division of the Eric Wright Group established to undertake rail infrastructure projects, has been awarded a Principal Contractor Licence (PCL) by Network Rail.
Adrian Taylor, director of EWR, said: “Rail sector projects require specialist expertise and extremely high levels of health & safety due diligence so any contractor working in the industry must demonstrate that they have the technical and procedural requirements needed to meet Network Rail’s standards.
The Kent project involved design development and installation of an electronic early warning system at a level crossing in Edenbridge, including all associated signalling, foundations and service ‘troughing’ works.
EWR will now be able to bid for further Network Rail infrastructure schemes across the UK, building on the company’s track record in the rail sector, which includes numerous station car park upgrades and a number of minor works projects for various rail operators.
