Global engineering consultancy Egis, as part of a consortium with Pell Frischmann, has been appointed to the design and engineering services for fixed track lot on Transport for Greater Manchester\u2019s (TfGM) Transport Professional Services Framework.<\/p>\n

Egis will be able to provide professional advice and services related to the design and engineering of fixed track transport systems, including high speed rail, light rail, metro and busways.<\/p>\n

The lot spans all project lifecycle stages, from investigation and planning through development, design and delivery to compliance, integration and testing. It also includes operations, maintenance, refurbishment and decommissioning, plus the asset monitoring, evaluation and feedback loop.<\/p>\n

The four-year multidisciplinary consultancy framework, worth an estimated \u00a3120 million, is intended to establish a network of suppliers to provide TfGM with transport-related consultancy services.<\/p>\n

James Hill, urban transit director at Egis, said: \u201cWe are committed to upgrading transport infrastructure across the north of England, and being appointed to the Transport Professional Services Framework is a real vote of confidence from the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor over half a century, Egis has delivered complex and challenging multidisciplinary rail projects across the world, and we\u2019re excited to bring this to Greater Manchester, supporting its ambitious development plans and long-term economic and environmental goals over the coming years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The announcement coincides with Egis opening a northern base in Manchester city centre, signalling the business\u2019s commitment to the region. Located at the Thread Works innovation cluster, the office is set to establish a footprint for the firm to deliver expertise across regional infrastructure and the built environment.<\/p>\n

The appointment follows the consortium being awarded light and heavy rail lots on the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority\u2019s (SYMCA) Engineers Consultancy Services Framework Agreement earlier this year.<\/p>\n
