TfL, Network Rail and depot operators trust MetroFire for the trickiest fire safety jobs on the network.
Working trackside requires more than fire knowledge — it requires possessions, COSS-led safe systems of work and an absolute respect for the operational railway. Our engineers hold PTS sponsored card status and are inducted to TfL LU Cat 1 fire safety requirements.
Sector challenges we solve
- Possessions, midweek night shifts and engineering hour access only.
- Specialist suppression for traction equipment, signalling rooms and tunnels.
- Network Rail / TfL standards beyond default British Standards (Asset Protection, SI 116, S1538).
Regulations & standards in this sector
- Railways and Other Guided Transport Systems Regs 2006
