Every year, there are over 1.7 billion rail journeys made in the UK, thanks to thousands of rail engineers managing and enhancing the UK’s long-established network. Unfortunately, being a rail engineer carries many risks, albeit working on the tracks, in tunnels or even carrying out a station upgrade.
Engineers need to remain protected from dust, fumes, gases, noise and other potential health hazards on site.
Download the Rail Engineers GuideRVT have been working with rail engineers for nearly 30 years, ensuring your guys are adequately protected while carrying out tunnel, station and track maintenance. We are certified as a safe and cost-effective provider to the railway industry, as verified by our RISQS certification.
Over the years we have provided countless ventilation solutions for tunnel projects, such as Box Hill Tunnel, and various fume extraction solutions for thermit welding. We have also provided noise, dust and fume control to protect commuters, local residents and businesses during station upgrades, such as the Waterloo Station upgrade.
RVT can also provide; pile wrap attenuators, dust extraction systems, welding filters, diesel filter kits, noise monitors, dust monitors, gas monitors and DPM monitors.

RVT provide industrial ventilation solutions that enable you to continuously force fresh air into enclosed spaces such as tunnels and stations during maintenance works.
RVT provide extraction and filtration units which are designed to remove dangerous fumes at source, from activities such as thermit welding.
RVT offer fire resistant Soundex® acoustic barriers to reduce disruption to commuters, local residents and businesses.
NEW! Real-time DPM monitors! RVT offer a wide range of monitors to check and measure noise, vibration, dust, gases and diesel particulate matter.
RVT understand the challenges faced by rail engineers and we are on hand to support you with dust, fume, noise and ventilation solutions during station upgrades, track maintenance and tunnel projects.
Track engineers can be exposed to dangerous level of dust, fumes, gases and vapours when conducting maintenance work in railway tunnels, it is therefore essential to ensure you have an effective ventilation strategy in place. Download our 10 minute tool box talk for effective tunnel ventilation.
In 2019, brand new scientific evidence was released from the IARC proving a link between welding fumes and cancer; as such the HSE guidelines have been revised. Download this whitepaper to learn more.
When working in an enclosed space, such as a tunnel, poor air quality can put the health of your workers at significant risk. Download a copy of this poster to hang in your welfare room, or request a hard copy.
Up to 750,000 workers in the UK are exposed to dangerous levels of diesel exhaust fumes each year. This is due to the use of diesel vehicles and equipment in enclosed spaces, such as railway tunnels. Download our basic guide to managing diesel fumes on site.
