United Kingdom

Colas Rail UK is a leading supplier of railway infrastructure services, constructing and renewing all forms of railways and operating Freight and on Track Plant across UK.

Colas Rail is the result of the merger of two companies acquired by Colas Group. The merger brought together two of Europe’s major players in the railway sector and pooled their respective skills within one entity. Colas Rail UK was formed in 2007, first delivering Track Renewals to the Western region in 2008, entering the track plant market in 2009 and purchasing new tampers in 2010.  From winning our first Network Rail Haulage contract in 2013, we have gone from strength to strength delivering major track infrastructure projects for Network Rail and the Midland Metro Alliance contract in Birmingham.
