Taking the Complexity out of Safe Delivery

TES are one of the UK’s leading providers of Safe Work Planning services. Our planning team is trusted by Tier 1 contractors and Network Rail to deliver fully compliant, safety-critical planning solutions that meet the highest industry standards. We are fully aligned with NR/L2/OHS/019 and use Accurail as our planning platform of choice, ensuring consistency, traceability, and compliance across every project.

Our national team of experienced planners can support work anywhere in the country. Whether you need a single possession planned or a full programme of works under a framework agreement, we have the capability and flexibility to deliver. We offer standalone planning services or integrated packages that include isolations, access, and white-collar consultancy support.

Our Planning Services Include:

  • Safe Work Pack (SWP) production and validation

  • Possession and isolation planning (AC and DC)

  • Section planning and access strategy development

  • Link blockages and access coordination

  • Ellipse, ERAS, and Primavera P6 planning support

  • White-collar consultancy for Tier 1s and Network Rail

  • Framework and contract-based planning delivery

We understand the pressure that comes with planning complex rail works. That’s why we don’t just provide planners; we provide peace of mind. Our team includes specialists with deep experience in workforce coordination, regulatory compliance, and operational delivery. We work closely with delivery teams to ensure every plan is practical, safe, and ready to go.

We also provide project planning and management support at the Contractor’s Responsible Engineer (CRE) and Contractor’s Engineering Manager (CEM) level, helping clients navigate complex delivery environments with confidence. Our team brings hands-on experience in coordinating multi-disciplinary works, managing access constraints, and aligning delivery with programme milestones. For more on this, see our services in Electrification and Track Projects.

Let TES take the complexity out of planning. With the right tools, the right people, and the right experience, we deliver safe, compliant, and dependable plans - so your teams can focus on delivery, not paperwork.
