Sustainability

Supporting Client Objectives & Industry Targets

At Mosaic Rail, we recognise that modern signalling projects must deliver more than operational performance and safety. They must also support clients’ sustainability commitments, cost-efficiencies and long-term asset strategies. We align our services with industry challenges including the Target 190 programme, to ensure signalling renewals deliver measurable value across environmental, economic and social dimensions.

Why Choose Mosaic Rail for
Sustainable Signalling Renewals

Sector-specific expertise – Our experienced design team understand the nuances of UK rail signalling design, renewals and digital migration.

Process-driven efficiency – By deploying multi skilled engineers, standardised design digital design workflows and simulated outcomes, we deliver smarter, more sustainable design solutions.

Strategic foresight – We anticipate and understand fully the economic pressures the rail industry is under. Our approach seeks to provide maximum benefit at the lowest possible cost without compromising on safety or integrity.

Client-centred delivery – We partner with clients to understand and integrate sustainability objectives into project requirements; ensuring signalling renewals become drivers of ESG performance, not just change programmes.

Transparent value-generation – From cost-per-unit performance to carbon-reduction metrics, we can support the carbon calculations within our discipline to provide clear evidence of sustainability and cost benefit.

Efficiency and sustainability

Through digital design & validation

We seek to employ the following tools / processes:

  • Early-stage digital survey, modelling and simulation of signalling renewal schemes to eliminate design waste, shorten delivery lead-times and reduce the need to intrusive on site surveying.
  • Standardised design and repeatable templates to reduce bespoke development where possible to achieve faster, greener delivery.
  • Specification of predictive maintenance products and selection of equipment with lower mean time before failure rates to minimise maintenance interventions and therefore reducing track access requirements and associated carbon/emissions for faulting teams attending.

Lifecycle carbon
& cost reduction

We plan signalling schemes with a whole-life cost in mind:

  • Selecting products and technologies which minimise embodied carbon and simplify maintenance activities.
  • Life extension schemes and improvements that reduce the requirement for disruptive access thereby lowering operational carbon and cost.
  • Supporting digital and modular signalling strategies (e.g., ETCS) which reduces lineside infrastructure, enabling fewer site closures and less disruption.

Helping Clients Meet Sustainability and Cost Efficiency Objectives

Cost Reduction and Minimum Viable Product. Economic pressure to drive down the costs of railway infrastructure projects, coupled with the need to manage and upgrade legacy assets present a unique challenge that Mosaic Rail can support with. Our collaborative and cost effective approach seeks to actively drive down design costs without any compromise on safety and integrity.

We achieve this with by close integration with the Client teams to fully understand the drivers behind project scope and investigate all options at the outset to achieve the best outcome. We also make good use of concise processes, design methodologies and digital tools that align with the programme’s cost-, time- and sustainability-benchmarks.
