Halcrow’s signalling and telecommunications team offers value-added services and engineering excellence across all aspects of signalling and telecommunications.
Services provided range from the maintenance and upgrade of traditional mechanical signalling equipment, to the design and commissioning of modern train control systems including solid state interlocking technology and other computer-based systems.
By understanding the technical and commercial aspects of a project, we provide solutions to our client’s greatest challenges.
