Projects we have undertaken recently include the re-assembly and recommissioning of a CNC wheel-lathe for a client.  This included supervising all civil engineering ground works and validation of calculations as well as the physical process of rebuilding and rewiring of the lathe following 5 years in storage.

Other projects have seen us procure and direct the refurbishment of “new” coaches for a Council Tourist Attraction; the scope of the task including managing all vehicle movements, the detailing of specifications and disposal of the old (asbestos contaminated) vehicles.  A complex project that necessitated liaison with the client – who had no rail vehicle knowledge, the refurbishment contractor, the haulier, HMRI and specialists in the area of Asbestos disposal.
