Protected Open-Air Workspace for Freightliner Maintenance Ltd

Summary

Freightliner Maintenance Ltd is a branch of the Freightliner Group, founded in 2006. The company is dedicated to delivering in-house maintenance and repair services to boost the performance of locomotives and rolling stock. The continuous expansion and success of Freightliner Maintenance Ltd led to them servicing a significant UK fleet of locomotives and eventually becoming involved in routine and warranty work on behalf of GE Transportation.

A Lauralu Solution...

To solve this issue they needed a structure that provided overhead protection that could be installed over the rail tracks. One of the key challenges of the project was that Freightliner Maintenance Ltd had to liaise with Network Rail which would be a time-consuming process. This meant that they needed a supplier that could offer support during that time.
