The brief

Direct Rail Services Ltd (DRSL) will be scheduling Diesel Engine overhaul activities associated with the Class 68 Locomotive and have a requirement for access to a facility with suitable undercover lifting equipment to enable removal, and installation of the Diesel Engine, including peripheral components.

We are looking for expressions of interest from Suppliers who can provide facilities that are rail linked, have sufficient access for transportation of Diesel Engines by road and sufficient component circulation space alongside the Locomotive.

In addition, there is a requirement for access to the facility by DRSL and their nominated Contractor to carry out equipment removal, installation, periodic inspections and post overhaul Locomotive static testing, including Diesel Engine functional tests.
