McLaughlin & Harvey has secured a place on Translink’s FW122 Permanent Way Major Projects Framework.

The framework, initially running for five years, will support delivery of the public transport operator’s programme of capital investment and maintenance works.

The civil engineering firm has a long-standing relationship with Translink and is already delivering maintenance and infrastructure schemes through multiple existing frameworks.

Adrian Pollock, Operations Director at McLaughlin & Harvey, said: "We are pleased to be awarded a place on FW122. The framework provides us with an opportunity to continue our collaboration with Translink, delivering civil engineering projects across Northern Ireland."

FW122 covers permanent way work packages spanning a broad range of sizes and complexities, from small, single-site renewals and refurbishments to major (£20m+) multi-disciplinary design and construction projects, which may at times involve disruptive blockades or possessions.

Typical scope includes plain line and switch-and-crossing (S&C) renewals and refurbishments; level and user-worked crossing renewals; re-railing, rail milling, ballast and drainage works; activities at sidings and depots; rail system enhancements such as new track assets, dualling, passing loops, siding extensions, line-speed improvements and realignments; and network electrification works, including testing rigs, minor depot works, and advice on enabling works and buildability.
