First piece of Work undertaken on Network Rail Design Services Framework

Mott MacDonald is undertaking its first piece of work for the new Network Rail Design Services Framework. The project is supporting the development of a new system to support degraded mode working on the railway during signalling system failures. The DMWS project is part of Network Rail’s Research & Development Portfolio – it’s £245M investment programme over CP6 to drive improvements to the safety, performance and efficiency of Britain’s railway infrastructure.

The system aims to reduce delays to passengers and train services by deploying a range of new technologies to quickly restore limited train services whilst the primary signalling system is restored.

Mott MacDonald is working as design consultant and technical advisor for Network Rail, providing support on elements including signalling interfaces, telecoms and power. Its technical advisory role will include:

• Development of design, installation and testing standards
• Signalling interfaces technical advice
• Trial site investigations
• Product development support

Mott MacDonald previously worked on the feasibility stage of the project in 2018 and will continue to support Network Rail through to an operational trial, currently expected to occur in 2022.
