High Speed Rail
“SYSTRA’s expertise on high-speed rail is careful and thorough. For once the phrase world-leading can be used”
Jim Steer, Founder and Director Greengauge 21
For 50-years SYSTRA has planned, designed and constructed high-speed rail networks throughout the world, including projects in France, Italy, Spain, Morocco, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, Iran, China, South Korea, Taiwan, USA, Mexico and the UK.
From the strategic to the detailed, we will advise governments and project promoters on the business case for the type of high-speed rail investment required for their country. We will act as a project partner to help deliver high-speed rail from the planning and design to the construction phase.
Our experts will set the principles that determine the complex design of high-speed rail infrastructure, they will recommend the appropriate technology required to operate high-speed trains and our engineers will manage the project’s construction.
Our dedicated high-speed rail team’s knowledge base extends to signalling technology, cab based telecommunications, power supply, the design and construction of tunnels, bridges and viaducts and rail service planning that are both feasible and affordable.
We continue to draw upon our experience gained from the planning and development of the French TGV system.

Services
Strategic Advice
We offer our clients informed strategic advice. We believe that our high-speed rail experience, gained over the past 50-years gives us the ability to make in-depth, objective and trusted judgements. We continue to advise governments and the rail industry throughout the world on their strategic rail investments.
Engineering and Environment
We deliver engineering and environmental expertise for rail schemes that are both feasible and affordable. We were a founding partner of Rail Link Engineering Ltd, the project management and engineering team which delivered HS1 on time and within budget. As a member of this consortium We managed the infrastructure design and construction and oversaw the construction of tunnels, bridges and viaducts, rail track and overhead catenary, in-cab signalling, power supplies and state-of-the-art telecommunication systems. Once built, we also managed the detailed programme of testing and commissioning the line.
Rail Service Planning
Planning a rail service or developing a timetable is fundamental to the preliminary design. We have worked on the development of the French TGV timetable and new line and station studies and franchise bids for train operating companies and also Network Rail.
