Transport for London (TfL) has appointed UK civil engineering firm Lanes Rail to carry out maintenance work on the London Underground network using drones, as their usage in industrial settings increases.
Lanes Rail is responsible for maintaining and repairing a wide range of assets across the London Underground network for TfL, including track drainage, station buildings, bridges, power sites, and engineering works. It is the first contractor to secure a long-term licence for drones, or unmanned unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), on TfL properties.
