How many years of railway assurance experience has Consult International Ltd?
John Freeman started his rail career in 1978, and he has since then had many interesting and responsible roles. Since 2008 he has specialised in the role of Contractor's Engineering Manager which is a role that Network Rail recognises as the key to delivering successful "non-rail" construction schemes adjacent to the railway.
What are the key assurances Network Rail demand for construction projects which are located near the railway?
Firstly the ASPRO Team need to know who the key players are in the construction assurance such as the CEM (Contractors Engineering Manager), the CRE (Contractors Responsible Engineer) in both design and construction and the Temporary Works Coordinator. The first document is usually a scope report, a basic outline of what is being built at the side of the railway, a programme of works, a schedule of documents and designs that the CEM believes will assure the project. Network Rail needs to see a professional submission of works which could affect railway assets.
