The saying ‘prevention is better than the cure’, is certainly true in the management of earthworks and drainage
However much of Britain’s railways are founded upon Victorian earthworks, which are simply not as resilient as modern engineered slopes.
Extreme weather events in the UK are on the rise putting further pressure on our rail infrastructure, and almost inevitably, a small number of the 190,000 earthworks assets will fail unexpectedly. CML’s directly employed delivery teams, spread throughout England and Wales are strategically placed to respond to infrastructure emergencies at short notice to assist our infrastructure clients, and minimise disruption to key transport networks and public services.
The combination of our site delivery teams and diverse plant fleet, supported by in-house design and engineering expertise, means we can provide a rapid response service for our infrastructure clients, not only to remediate earthworks failures, but to attend to any civil engineering emergency.
