SNC-Lavalin Rail & Transit is an international rail consultancy company. Headquartered in Derby, England, it is a subsidiary of AtkinsRéalis.
The company was originally formed as Interfleet Technology in April 1994 during the privatization of British Rail. Initially operating as a subsidiary of the British Railways Board, Interfleet became an independent entity following a management buyout in 1996. By 2011, the company had expanded to 22 offices worldwide and generated a turnover exceeding £50 million, engaging in thousands of assignments annually.
In 2011, SNC-Lavalin acquired Interfleet, leading to its rebranding as SNC-Lavalin Rail & Transit in January 2016. The company now has regional subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, North America, Scandinavia, and Australasia, with offices in several major cities globally.
SNC-Lavalin Rail & Transit offers a comprehensive range of services across the railway system, including rolling stock, infrastructure, signalling, communications, testing, and software development. Their clients span governmental and regulatory agencies, private manufacturers, operators, and investors. Notable projects include high-speed freight wagon design, modifications to British Rail Class units, technical analysis for Norwegian high-speed railways, and significant roles in the UK's InterCity East Coast franchise and Australia's Inland Rail programme.
