Delivering safe, compliant and high-quality enabling works across the UK rail network — from possession working and vegetation management to boundary fencing and principal contractor support.

A Core Sector for Wildside

Rail is one of Wildside's most significant sectors. We have built a strong reputation delivering enabling works across the UK rail network, working alongside principal contractors, Network Rail and other infrastructure clients to deliver safe, programme-driven results.

Our teams hold the relevant Personal Track Safety (PTS) competencies, enabling us to work safely in and around the operational railway. We are experienced in possession working, weekend blockades and night shift operations -providing the flexibility our clients need to keep projects moving.

From vegetation clearance on embankments and cuttings to boundary fencing, ecological mitigation and principal contractor support, Wildside brings the skills, accreditations and attitude to deliver on the railway.
