Amey has announced it has secured two framework contracts for Network Rail’s Eastern Region known as ERAC (Eastern Region Assessment Contract).
Receipt of the two contracts is hoped to strengthen the two companies’ long-standing partnership, reinforcing their combined role in supporting the saftey, resilience and performance of the wider UK rail network.
The two contracts, which were awarded in March, have a combined value of 40 million GBP, and will see Amey carry out structural assessment services across both the North and South Lots of the framework over the course of five years – the maximum possible award.
Work will cover key routes including the North & East, East Coast Mainline, Anglia and the East Midlands.
Through both ERAC frameworks; Amey will assess railway bridges and structures to ensure they remain safe, compliant and capable of meeting any and all future demands.
Using detailed inspections and advanced engineering analysis, the company will aim to identify structural risks, confirm load capacity and provide clear, evidence-based recommendations to Network Rail, supporting informed decisions on maintenance, strengthening and operational requirements.
This work is expected to help maintain resilient infrastructure and minimise disruption for passengers, freight and communities.
Justin Page, Business Director for Rail at Amey, said:We are delighted to continue our partnership with Network Rail through the Eastern Region Assessments Contracts.
This award reflects the strength of our long-standing relationship, and the trust Network Rail has in our capability and collaborative approach. We look forward to building on this partnership, helping to inform smarter investment decisions and improve the performance of critical infrastructure across its lifecycle.
