Mott MacDonald’s track record in railways dates back to the early 1900s with the construction of the City and South London Railway. Now we provide rail engineering consultancy services through railway teams based in offices world-wide. Our experts work throughout the whole life-cycle of railway bridge structures covering planning, design, construction and maintenance of bridge and viaducts for both main line and mass transit railway projects.

Clapham Junction Bridge
Bridge 2/11-2/12 is a skewed two span structure consisting of 26 decks, and supports 13 railway lines which carry mainly passenger services to and from the south of England into London Waterloo and London Victoria Stations.

Lantau Link
As the Hong Kong Government’s consultant, Mott MacDonald conceived, planned, designed and managed the £780m Lantau Link through all stages of the project.

Newcastle High Level Bridge
This six span, two level bridge carries both rail and road traffic over the River Tyne between Gateshead and Newcastle. The bridge was built by Robert Stephenson and opened in 1849 and is a Grade 1 listed structure.

Newark Dyke Bridge Project
This reconstruction project involved the replacement of two single tracks, 80m span, life expired through truss bridges with a single double track 80m span half-through bow string truss bridge.

Taiwan High Speed Rail
The route of the THSR is 345km long and includes 251km of bridges and viaduct, 47km of tunnel and 32km of earthworks. The railway became operational in October 2005 with a design speed of 350km/hr.
