Birse Rail was established in 1996 to provide a high quality construction service to the newly privatised railway industry. From a small base of works focused largely in the Midlands region Birse Rail has grown to become one of the industry’s largest contractors, undertaking a wide range of civil engineering and building projects to railway infrastructure throughout the whole of the UK.
