Track Handback
The Track Handback Competence, also known as Authorized Person, is broken into three main categories; you have TR11, which is responsible for confirming the operational readiness of a track after maintenance repair. Additionally, TR12 is responsible for confirming the track’s readiness after heavy maintenance, while TR13 is responsible for confirming the track’s readiness after track renewal. We consider this competence to be of utmost importance.
The majority of our senior management team is CRE-approved in track, which means that you can trust our assessments to showcase your competence. Moreover, our assessments are recognized by many of the current track companies including, TME/ATMEs and other NWR project staff.
Multiple assessment methods are available. Contact us for details.
