Digital Transformation for Rail & Station Infrastructure
Empowering Network Rail, TOCs, FOCs, and major contractors to digitise permits, access control, trackside works, utilities, inspections, and station-wide coordination, all through one modern, GIS-powered platform.
GEO.works UK helps rail operators, stations, depots, and major contractors digitise the full lifecycle of works — including permits, access control, utilities, inspections, closures, and infrastructure coordination — all through one shared platform.
From trackside maintenance to utilities upgrades and station refurbishments, GEO.works gives teams real-time visibility of planned activities, conflict checks, safety impacts, and required approvals across the entire rail estate.
Every application, clearance, and inspection is managed in one place — with full audit traceability, configurable workflows, and live GIS insight.
Manual forms, disconnected systems, and email-based approvals slow programmes and increase operational risk. GEO.works UK streamlines the entire process, ensuring safer, faster, and more coordinated activity across complex rail environments.
GEO.works UK gives rail operators complete clarity and control — fully aligned with safety standards, compliance requirements, and operational policies across Network Rail, TOCs, and Tier 1 contractors.
Key Benefits:
-
55% faster approvals
-
66% lower administrative workload
-
Major reduction in conflicting or overlapping works
-
Complete digital audit trail

| Temporary Closures (Platforms, Concourse Areas, Access Routes) | Automated approvals, digital records, improved safety and compliance alignment |
| Compliance, Safety Assurance & Audit Readiness | Instant audit reports, full traceability, evidence packs for NR, ORR, RISQS, and internal compliance teams |
One Platform, Shared Visibility
Stronger Safety, Control, and Network-Wide Coordination
GEO.works UK connects track renewals, station works, utilities, possessions planning, contractor management, and safety teams through one shared GIS-based platform.
Everyone works from the same live data — reducing duplication, delays, overruns, and operational risk across the rail estate.
Example Use Cases:
-
Route and station teams see all planned and active works across the rail corridor and station estate in one map.
-
Possessions and blockades teams coordinate access with live conflict checks.
-
Contractors, utilities, and TOCs share updates in real time to prevent clashes, rework, and late-stage changes.
Rail environments deal with constant activity — possessions, isolations, track works, station upgrades, utilities, and third-party access. When each team works from different systems, clashes, delays, and safety risks increase.
GEO.works UK gives infrastructure owners, TOCs, and contractors a unified live view of all planned and active works across the rail estate. This ensures:
-
Real-time visibility of possessions, closures, utilities, and on-site activity
-
Standardised workflows aligned with Railway Safety Standards, CDM, and internal governance
-
Instant conflict detection across track, station, and lineside works
-
Full digital audit trail for approvals, inspections, and contractor access
-
Faster, safer, more predictable delivery of maintenance and enhancement works
Rail operators using this approach achieve tighter operational control, fewer last-minute disruptions, and dramatically improved coordination across station, track, signalling, civils, and utilities teams.
