Supporting Rail Projects

Over 1.7 billion rail journeys are made in the UK each year, thanks to thousands of rail engineers managing and upgrading the UK’s long-established network.

Essential works carried out by engineers is often done in live environments or outside of typical working hours, making engineering controls such as dust suppression for ballast dust management through to forced tunnel ventilation, a continuous priority.

Forced Ventilation at Box Hill Tunnel

How Can RVT Group Help You?

Tick

Ventilation

Force fresh air via ducting from outside a tunnel (or similar space) to dilute airborne hazards and help ensure safe air quality for workers.

Tick

Fume Control

Use extraction and filtration units which are designed to remove dangerous fumes at source, from activities such as thermit welding.

Tick

Noise Control

Utilise acoustic barriers and enclosures to contain work areas and minimise disruption in live environments.

Tick

Monitoring

Install environmental monitoring around the work area to measure hazards, prove compliance and provide real-time insights into exposure levels.

What our clients say

Skanska

Site Engineer

“We have used Soundex® acoustic barriers for our hydrodemolition works to ensure noise levels were reduced to allowable tolerances. The quilts proved very effective as we managed to carry out the hydrodemolition close to the station concourse while ensuring noise levels were acceptable to the station management.”

Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure Ltd

Project Manager

“The input from RVT Group contributed to the success of the Queen St Cowlairs Tunnel project, both in terms tender advice and providing a workable solution to our ventilation problem. The bespoke ventilation system provided effective control, backed with invaluable management support right through the project and most importantly safeguarded the wellbeing of the site personnel working within the tunnel. This brought the Project peace of mind, and meant we could get on with the job with confidence”

Walker Construction Rail Division

Project Manager

“Our current project resulted in us producing a large amount of noise within a confined area where we were undertaking the breaking out. When the strength on the concrete became more dense the noise level increased and after consultation it was advised we looked into using the Mobile Enclosures. We took on board the advice and trialled one enclosure and found that it reduced the noise levels to an acceptable level and as a result we took an additional enclosure and another machine to help us speed up our breaking out process. Throughout the hire period we have had good communication between our companies along with some really good advice and I would really recommend your company to anyone.”

Site Manager

“The service we have received from RVT has been excellent. The fans were mounted on a bespoke framework with fresh air being fed from outside the tunnel via 1200mm steel ductings. One fan was sufficient to ventilate almost 1300m of tunnel through 1000mm flexible ductings, with the other reserve fan able to be brought into use in a matter of minutes via an RVT supplied ‘Y – piece’ adaptor. Overall throughout the 18 month project, with zero breakdowns or issues, RVT and their equipment have exceeded expectations”
