How it works
Planning techniques are a crucial part of innovation and development within the engineering sector. Effective planning ensures that projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the required standards.
Advanced planning techniques, such as 4D visualisation allows project teams to visualise the project and its progress over time, without having to undertake site walkouts, improving communication and collaboration between stakeholders.
Professional engineering and design integration is another key element driving innovation and development within the rail industry. Effective 4D integration of engineering and design ensures that projects are designed to meet the needs of stakeholders and are delivered to the required standards. This approach also ensures more accurate forecasting and risk management, reduces the likelihood of delays and cost overrunsthat, and supports the progressive, professional management of the project.

Boundless possibilities
Our business is supporting a number of schemes by bringing novel or innovative techniques to rail engineering whilst continually improving our own business systems.
These include using 4D visualisation techniques, heat straightening impact damaged steel structures, bringing Very Light Rail solutions to Beeching project reinstatements and introducing pre-cast concrete track systems, among others.
At the heart of innovation and development within ei is a commitment to excellence. This commitment is reflected in the use of advanced planning techniques and the integration of engineering and design assets within the project EDMS. By adopting these approaches and emerging innovative tools and techniques ei is driving innovation and development while ensuring the successful delivery of railway projects.
