极端天气增加了人们和财产通常暴露于的风险。
最近强大的风和高潮汐在Dawlish，Devon，强调了铁路弹性的重要性。
In fact, we’re preparing vital repair work in Dawlish to safeguard the stretch of railway that connects the south west with the rest of the country.
保护德文郡海岸线
This month (November 2018) we’re improving protection for the Dawlish sea wall and the railway running along the coast. Our team will repair four breakwaters – barriers built out to sea to protect the coast from the force of waves – by expert engineering teams from Network Rail and BAM Nuttall with the vital work set to take six months.
恶人的极端天气
Protecting the route through Dawlish is a national priority. We will make these immediate short-term improvements to the resilience of the railway while we continue with £15m detailed development of longer term options.
Such is the scale and importance of the challenge that Network Rail has now established a dedicated South West Rail Resilience Programme to identify and implement the best options to improve rail resilience of this iconic stretch of railway.
南部铁路弹性计划将确定悬崖和海岸线发生的事情，以便我们探索替代解决方案。这些将有助于确保这部分铁路的长期未来，为南德文郡和康沃尔郡的社区和企业提供服务，并将该地区与英国其他地区连接。亚博账号登录
土方制品和资产管理
我们管理一个超过190,000个土方工程资产的投资组合，包括斜坡，堤防和切割 - 由岩石或土壤组成的地面挖掘。
我们的专业岩土工程师在英国努力稳定和修复弱化的资产，使网络能够更加适应未来的风险事件，例如极端天气。
山水
Landslips对赛道和周围环境造成危险。大雨饱和地球。这减少了颗粒的互锁，损害了土壤强度，这导致底层。
在这个国家的秋季（2018年9月）在全国各地经历了大雨和强风，导致了主要的旅行中断和损害，并且在威尔士的风暴金龙之后所见，导致ystrad rhondda和porth之间的山水线。
Following an emergency like this, we deploy our engineers to carry out any immediate works to the affected areas; some of our previous weather-related emergency repair works includesstabilising hillsidesand repairing cutting slopes.
Infrastructure fit for the future
Our earthwork portfolio is as old as the railway itself – most of our infrastructure slopes are more than 150 years old. Therefore, future-proofing our infrastructure is crucial – we aspire to and are actively working towards creating a safer, reliable and sustainable infrastructure that continually improves.
随着冬季的方法，我们现有基础设施的脆弱性将再次进行测试，并紧急更新活动将是不可避免的。然而，通过检查岩土数据和监测仪器的结果，我们的团队将能够确定有助于最大限度地减少风险，损坏和中断所需的适当干预措施。
我们使用技术和行业标准技术，如地面倾角，测量地球运动。我们还通过用混凝土桩，土着钉和挡土墙固定松散土壤来提高稳定性。
We also consider the impact of climate change on weather conditions in renewals and enhancements to ensure the railway can handle the projected increases in the severity and frequency of extreme weather in the future.
