Line Blockage & Isolation Planning
Line Blockage Planning delivered safely & efficiently
We manage every aspect of your Line Blockage (LB) requirements — from preparing accurate requests to coordinating approvals with Signallers and operational teams. RPS ensures every LB is compliant, validated, and aligned with the safe systems of work your project needs.
Precise Electrical Isolation (AC/DC) Planning
Our planners handle all Electrical Isolation submissions, ensuring each request meets Network Rail and local E&P requirements. We work closely with ECOs and Electrification teams to secure safe work limits, produce the correct documentation, and integrate isolations seamlessly with your wider access arrangements.
Clear, Accurate Integration Into Safe Work Packs (SWPs)
We ensure every LB and isolation is correctly reflected within your Safe Work Packs (SWPs), giving your workforce the right protection arrangements, diagrams, and work limits. Our approach provides reliable, compliant information that supports COSS briefings and safe on-site delivery.
