Lifecycle cost modelling

Harnessing the power of data architecture, Network Rail futureproofed their infrastructure and secured an additional £1bn investment.

Rail is a critical part of a more sustainable future, meaning long-term solutions are all the more important.

With Amey's cutting-edge approach to data architecture, Network Rail were able to model the impacts of their asset management policies.

Not only did this grant Network Rail an insight into the future of their infrastructure, but it also allowed them to provide evidence to the regulator for their capital and operational planning for structures, civils and track.

These models combined data from across Network Rail's numerous but disparate asset management systems and take into account tonnage, deterioration, intervention strategy and input cost, amongst other factors.

They enabled Network Rail, for the first time, to predict the long-term outcomes and efficiency of their policies, and to improve the investment planning, budgeting, and scenario planning.
