Aaron Civils, a specialist civil engineering company and part of the Aaron Engineering Group, has successfully completed an urgent fence repair at the Valley Road site for the TRU West Alliance, supporting principal contractor Amey in addressing a critical safety concern.

The works were commissioned to address a security issue where there was potential for unauthorised access to the railway tracks. The breach in the existing palisade fencing represented a significant safety risk, requiring immediate action to secure the area and prevent access by members of the public.

Aaron Civils’ team responded promptly to reinstate the palisade fencing, securing the area and eliminating the risk of unauthorised access to the railway infrastructure. The repair works were completed efficiently to ensure the site perimeter was restored to the required security standards.

Lineside fencing plays a critical role in protecting the railway infrastructure and preventing unauthorised access that could endanger both the public and railway operations. Aaron Civils’ capability to respond quickly to security breaches supports clients in maintaining safe and secure worksites throughout construction programmes.

The successful completion of the fence repair demonstrates Aaron Civils’ ability to deliver responsive maintenance and repair works that address immediate safety concerns on rail infrastructure projects. The company’s teams work collaboratively with principal contractors to ensure site security is maintained throughout project delivery.
