en.Wedoany.com Reported - Infrastructure engineering company Amey has secured two framework contracts from Network Rail for the Eastern Region, known as the Eastern Region Assessment Contracts (ERAC). Awarded in March, these contracts have a total value of £40 million over five years. Under this framework, Amey will provide structural assessment services for both the North and South zones, representing the maximum contract value available within this framework.

The scope of work covers several key railway lines, including the North & East, East Coast Main Line, Anglia, and East Midlands. In a statement, Amey noted that these contracts "reinforce its role in supporting the safety, resilience, and performance of the UK's railway network." The statement indicated that this award builds on Amey's extensive track record in the region, having provided structural assessment services since 2003, demonstrating decades of trusted large-scale delivery capability.

Through the ERAC framework, Amey will assess bridges and structures across the railway network, ensuring they remain safe, compliant, and fit for future needs. Specific tasks include conducting detailed inspections and advanced engineering analyses to identify structural risks, confirm load-bearing capacities, and submit clear, evidence-based recommendations to Network Rail, supporting informed decision-making on maintenance, reinforcement, and operational requirements. This work will help maintain infrastructure resilience and minimize disruption to passengers, freight, and communities.

Justin Page, Amey's Rail Business Director, said: "We are delighted to continue our partnership with Network Rail through the Eastern Region Assessment Contracts. This award reflects the strength of our long-standing relationship and Network Rail's trust in our capabilities and collaborative approach." He added that Amey looks forward to building on this foundation to deepen cooperation, help make more informed investment decisions, and improve the performance of critical infrastructure throughout its lifecycle.
