Plant Operating Scheme

With full Plant Operating Scheme (POS) approval, TRS can conduct on- track plant operations on Network Rail managed infrastructure.

We work with leading principle contractors, providing on-track plant, operators and technical support to deliver planned or emergency projects.

We’re also approved to work on London Underground infrastructure and have also recently supported Crossrail projects.

Our POS rail services include lift planning, carried out by Sentinel qualified planners. As part of our service we’ll complete a full site survey to understand your project’s objectives and gather technical details, such as the loads/ materials to be lifted and their weights, track configuration and specific site hazards etc.

We’ll also advise you on any plant specific items in relation to the site of work, including ALO arrangements and any required control measures.

WITH TOTAL RAIL, WE'LL KEEP YOU ON TRACK.

OUR ROOTS ARE WHAT DEFINE US

Formed in 2007, Total Rail Solutions started life as a consultancy business. By mid-2008 we set about becoming a leading road-rail plant hire company, focused on the operated rail plant market.  This required three key operational enablers – the best people, the right on-track plant and the safest processes.

We quickly built a highly experienced management team, attracting leaders with strong and successful track records.  Upon the award of our Plant Operations Scheme (POS) approval we invested heavily in our fleet of on track plant and attachments.  We also set out to develop a culture based on ensuring safety and quality in every process we undertake.
