Speaking after the event, SPL explained that: “Innovation can be very hard in the rail industry, particularly around regulation, PADS approvals and design & group standards. However, Innovation can be pushed in many ways as part of our day jobs.”
Continuing, Peloton heard: “Using digital tools such to track quality assurance and performance metrics on site is a “one step back two forward” approach. In design and assurance, looking at workflow and the principles of the Network Rail SPEED initiative also yields time/cost/program benefits.”
