Across the UK rail network, TPA Rapid Rail Access’s innovative access solutions have helped contractors and operators deliver projects faster, safer, and more efficiently — and this June, you can see them in action at Rail Live 2025.

From speeding up possession works to protecting vital infrastructure, TPA’s Lightweight Foam RRAP, Track Access Matting System (TAMS), and Universal Track Access System (UTAS) have become essential tools for rail projects nationwide.

Proven Solutions for a Demanding Industry
When every minute counts, TPA Rapid Rail Access delivers. Our Lightweight Foam RRAP has allowed teams to install safe, compliant access points for wheeled RRVs in under 20 minutes — cutting downtime and maximising productivity on time-sensitive jobs. Its modular, hand-portable design has transformed how track access is approached, particularly on remote or restricted sites.

For heavier equipment and complex digs, contractors have turned to TAMS and UTAS. TAMS has provided reliable, damage-free access for RRVs up to 50 tonnes — supporting critical maintenance and upgrade projects without damaging the track or compromising safety. Meanwhile, UTAS has set the standard for safely moving steel-tracked and heavy rail plant, protecting both rail heads and sleepers during even the most challenging operations.

Our Platform Edge Protection (PEP) system provides a fast, reliable way to safeguard workers on live station platforms. Its lightweight, GRP-based design enables quick hand installation without the need for bonding or heavy tools—making it ideal for electrified environments and tight working windows.

Each system is designed with rapid deployment in mind — no specialist tools required — helping rail teams respond faster and work smarter.

Approved by Network Rail and RISQS-registered (Supplier Number 058540), TPA Rapid Rail Access solutions are trusted by major contractors and infrastructure projects across the country.
