Description
A competitive tender process was undertaken in 2021 to procure a First of Type (FOT) next-generation Road Rail Mobile Elevated Working Platform (MEWP) designed specifically to meet the requirements of the newly electrified Western Route. Following this competition, Fitzgerald Plant Services was awarded the contract and has since worked collaboratively with Network Rail to develop and refine the vehicle to meet the unique operational and safety requirements associated with maintaining Overhead Line Equipment (OLE).
The resulting vehicle incorporates bespoke design features and enhanced capabilities beyond those of a standard MEWP, enabling the safe and efficient undertaking of OLE inspection, maintenance and repair activities.
Network Rail now requires 3 further vehicles based on the FOT to meet the requirements of the route.
