Arriva Trains, Wales

Integral carried out a full range of mechanical, electrical and building fabric services to 235 stations throughout Wales to support Arriva Trains.

The contract is managed by a Cardiff-based Integral Contract Manager assisted by 2 supervisors based in North and South Wales, ensuring management support is provided equally in all regions. In addition to our management support on the contract we also provide a dedicated team of 6 PTS engineers to carry out the planned maintenance element of the contract and respond to reactive calls. Separate support if also provided through a separate project team that possess experience of delivering contracts on railway stations.

Across the contract, the services require a large number of possessions and isolations, particularly for platform lighting works.

This work is delivered and achieved through the application for possessions through Arriva’s on-line Greenzone Access Manager. Once the possession has been obtained we manage the approval and conduct risk assessments, COSS / signal man requirements etc. Works are then programmed to the possession and our engineers arrive fully equipped to carry out the required works in the timeframe obtained by the possession.
