Access Platforms for Metro and Underground Rail Systems

26th May 2026

From the London Underground to the vast metro networks of Asia and North America, underground rail systems are some of the most demanding environments for safe maintenance access.

We are proud to support industries connected to metro and underground infrastructure with bespoke access solutions designed around real operational challenges.

Today, there are more than 200 metro systems operating worldwide across over 17,000 km (10,500 miles) of railway and approximately 13,000 stations globally. These networks continue to expand rapidly as cities invest in modern urban transport systems.

Metro and underground environments present unique challenges including restricted clearances, electrified infrastructure, confined tunnel spaces, corrosion resistance, and demanding maintenance access requirements.

This is where bespoke engineered access solutions make a real difference.

From specialist platforms and staging to bespoke maintenance access systems, we can design and supply safe working practices within some of the world’s most challenging rail environments.
