Our focus is on aiding our rail clients in establishing sustainable growth strategies.
At Infrata, we offer comprehensive Technical, ESG, and Traffic support through meticulous market analysis and performance evaluations for both greenfield and brownfield projects.
With a wealth of experience spanning over 50 major rail projects globally, our team at Infrata specializes in a variety of rail endeavors, including high-speed rail, urban metro, light rail, automated people movers, and rail freight.

Moreover, we take pride in our ability to assist clients across the spectrum of advisory. We provide valuable insights for risk allocation, maintenance strategies, and life-cycle modeling, supporting informed decision-making processes.
Our knowledge and experience will help you determine the value of an investment, before assisting with the technical aspects of the acquisition.
We then combine our deep technical knowledge with economic factors and real-world business experience to provide effective strategies for getting the most from your asset.

What are Infrata's areas of expertise?
In-depth engineering knowledge is vitally important to our approach to rail. Our knowledge covers all aspects of the railway system – from concepts of design and construction, to day-to-day operations and maintenance.
This knowledge allows us to take a strategic view of each project, promising seamless integration and prompt delivery of outcomes to suit your needs.
Our strategic technical advisory services are designed to help our clients define their projects from the very beginning. We’ll establish clear objectives, and provide early feasibility studies and business case appraisals.
Our advisors continue to provide support to clients throughout the lifecycle of the project.
Infrata provides clients with a team to oversee project delivery. This team’s job is to monitor delivery, and shine a light on material risks and issues as they arise. Programme assurance stretches throughout a project’s lifecycle, to include:
- Requirements Definition
- Project Scope
- Cost
- Scheduling
- Risk Assessment
Ultimately, it’s the job of our team to mitigate risk, and examine corrective actions. We’ll pro-actively identify areas of improvement, helping you to achieve the right outcome for your project.
Time for a temperature check on an ongoing project? Infrata assembles multi-disciplinary teams to gauge the maturity of projects in development.
Our ‘deep dive’ project reviews can be carried out within a short time frame, making them ideal for deployment at key decision stage gates.
A large part of Infrata’s job is to translate the material details of infrastructure into terms relevant for investors.
This involves reviewing asset management systems. We also review documentation for the Asset Information and Management System, and the Annual Asset Management Plans, for the complete asset base.
