CLIENT: Alstom
DATE: Apr 2026
LOCATION: Cambridge

Global Rail Construction Limited (GRCL) were awarded a long-term programme of GRIP 6-8 railway civil engineering works, on behalf of valued client and Cambridge Resignalling Principal Contractor and Designer, Alstom. This sub-contract was secured by our UK team, following previous successful delivery of both GRIP 4 Surveys and GRIP 5 Advanced Civils Works.

Cambridge Resignalling is a condition led renewal, where a significant number of level crossings will be either renewed or modified as part of the project. The scope covers the area controlled by Cambridge signal box.

The delivery programme covers 4-key commissioning stages – Stage 1 Commissioning in December 2024, Stage 2 Commissioning May 2025, Croxton Stage October 2025 and Stage 3 Commissioning Easter 2026, and requires GRCL to interface with Alstom’s Lead Engineers and provide inputs into other discipline requirements/deliverables. 

GRCL provides competent management and staff to ensure that the works meet the required Network Rail standards and the expected level of quality, in order to assist Alstom with production and verification of the scheme, to enable satisfactory and timely sign off of the Engineering Completion Certificates for all stages of the works.
