Heavy Rail
Developments in heavy rail continue to set the bar for faster speeds, greater capacity, and lower environmental impact.
Rail now connects us like us never before, opening new doors to economic growth, and offering a greener, safer, and more sustainable alternative to car transport. From cities to countryside, Ardent is proud to support our rail networks’ ongoing vision to shape our landscape, bringing our communities and economy closer together through climate-smart and efficient developments.
Home to one of the busiest rail networks in Europe, Ardent has significant experience supporting heavy rail projects throughout the UK and Ireland. We’re proud to have supported more Transport and Works Act Orders (TWAO’s) and DCO’s than any other firm in the UK and Ireland, leveraging our combined experience to support and develop notable Heavy Rail projects, including HS2 and East West Rail.
