  • Tracks: The Gantry rails were installed collaboratively with Harmill, ensuring seamless Track & Gantry integration.
  • Pitboards and Gantry: Harmill, our efficient contractor effortlessly installed these essential elements, contributing to a fully functioning train maintenance depot.

Highlights:

Early Completion: We proudly delivered the project ahead of schedule, demonstrating our commitment to efficiency and client satisfaction.

Synergy within Enable: Enable Hire provided all the necessary plant and equipment, while Enable Resourcing ensured a skilled and dedicated workforce.

High-Quality Design: Enable Design collaborated effectively with FJD, Harmill, EMEG, and Planet Platforms to produce a seamless and functional design.
