PERI Showcases Rail Access Innovation at Rail Live UK

Scaffolding and formwork expert PERI has showcased its latest stair access solutions at Rail Live UK, featuring a hands-on demonstration of the PERI UP system designed to enhance safety and speed on rail infrastructure projects.

Held in Stratford-upon-Avon, the two-day event attracted rail professionals from across the country. PERI, invited by engineering services provider Mabey Hire, joined the firm on its stand to exhibit how its modular scaffolding system integrates with temporary bridge structures used during rail works.

The PERI UP system is commonly deployed to provide safe pedestrian access when permanent routes are closed for maintenance or upgrades. Designed for quick assembly and maximum safety, the stair access solution is particularly well suited to the constrained and high-risk environments typical of railway sites.

“It was a well-attended event that clearly highlighted the value of access systems like PERI UP,” said Stephen Parker, Senior Sales Engineer at PERI. “The system provides safe, unobstructed access, which is crucial for infrastructure projects, especially on live rail sites.”

The demonstration also featured the integration of PERI UP with Mabey Hire’s Pedestrian BeamBridge, demonstrating how the two systems can be combined to create safe and efficient footbridges in challenging environments.

In addition to product demonstrations, PERI took the opportunity to engage visitors on the importance of certified scaffolding training, particularly in rail, where safety compliance is vital. The company is continuing to roll out its specialist Public Access System, first launched earlier this year at the bauma trade fair, offering scalable solutions for higher footfall areas.

The Rail Live UK event is a key fixture in the transport infrastructure calendar, providing suppliers and contractors with a platform to showcase innovations that support the safe delivery of major rail projects.
