About Us

About DONNELLY RAIL SYSTEMS

Donnelly Rail Systems was founded in 2016 to provide quality engineering through flexibility. We work remotely to maximise the time we can spend on getting the job done. We drive delivery with how we balance our professional lives with our personal responsibilities.  

We know electrification as designers and in construction, especially overhead wiring/OLE. We learn on every job and incorporate safety in design on every submission. We also ensure our risk assessments are CDM and CSM-RA compliant.  

We have construction support experience. It makes us aim to “measure twice, cut once” on all our decisions. We believe that digital engineering and BIM will help us to achieve this goal.
