STE06: Examination of Tunnels and Shafts
Tunnels and shafts are unforgiving assets: restricted access, limited possession time, complex defect modes.
Our STE06-competent examiners pair tunnel- and shaft-specific expertise with the access disciplines needed to deliver thorough exams inside live operational windows.
What we deliver…
- STE06-competent examiners for tactile detailed examinations of tunnels, shafts and associated structures.
- Integrated access teams: rope access, MEWP, scaffold and confined-space-trained personnel under one mobilisation.
- Enabling works delivered in-house: debris and waste removal inside the bore, vegetation clearance at portals and shaft tops, work boats where waterborne access is required.
- Possession-efficient working, planned, rehearsed and delivered to minimise blockage time.
- Defect-coded reporting with photographic evidence and CMS-ready uploads, aligned to Network Rail standards.
- Engineer-reviewed findings linking lining, drainage, portal and shaft observations into a single coherent picture.
