Mechanical Services

Applying proven sciences to a diverse range of Underground disciplines

Do you have a mechanical or material problem that needs solving but don't want to use contractors who lack railway experience? Mechanical Services is exactly what you're looking for. We have a three-stage strategy for solving any mechanical and material problems across track, signals, trains, stations, escalators and lifts.

 

Define the question

We apply proven sciences to determine root causes.  

 

Design solution and prove concept

Armed with the necessary technical information, we devise a solution tailored to your exact requirements. We then build a prototype - from simple components right through to complex equipment and machinery - and run a rigorous programme of testing.

 

The final stretch

Once testing is complete, our team will help you prepare for the large-scale manufacture of components and equipment.

 

Keep the wheels turning

Mechanical Services was launched after its team members applied their expertise to a recurring problem with Piccadilly line train axles. Using high-tech sensors to identify why a particular component failed to work properly, we came up with a replacement design within six months.

"Our team includes a mechanical engineer, a civil engineer and a material scientist, " says Dr Ali Albadri, Chief Engineer with Mechanical Services.

"We have close ties with organisations across the rail industry and also with research driven academic institutions such as Imperial College London, Oxford University, Brunel University and the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. This means we can combine scientific expertise with a comprehensive understanding of the railway environment," he added.
