As a supplier who has a long-standing relationship with RISQS – Rail Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme, Lockinex strives to offer their customers the best supplier experience possible.
Connor Roach is one of the Directors at Lockinex who has a background in engineering and has a First-class bachelor’s degree in Materials Engineering from Loughborough University.
He told us of how he uses this expertise to his advantage and to strengthen the company and its products.
“I know the practicalities of our products and I use my engineering background to design and source the best materials available.”
“We always work closely with our customers to make sure we are providing them exactly what they need. It’s quite common for them to come to us with certain requirements in mind and by the end of the process, we will be supplying a solution offering a more effective result than they initially anticipated.”
One of their most recent projects involved working closely with a major contractor for Network Rail. The scope of the job required a heavy-duty galvanised steel handrail system, complete with toe board, to be supplied by Lockinex for use by engineers and staff within Network Rails maintenance depot in Eastbourne.
Network Rail drawings were sent to Lockinex for evaluation and quoting. The contractors received the quote and approved the order. Bespoke upright handrail posts were then manufactured as per Network Rails’ exact specifications and made in-house by the Lockinex team. All items were then delivered to site within the agreed timeframe and the handrail system was installed.
Lockinex specialises in providing modular GRP handrailing, Galvanised steel handrailing and GRP anti-slip flooring systems to the rail industry and have assisted on various other UK projects for Network Rail, Crossrail, HS2 and Transport for London.
Connor told us “We’ve seen a high demand within the rail sector for our GRP due to its suitability for electrified environments and strong anti-slip and anti-corrosion properties. All of our GRP gratings are manufactured from high quality Isophthalic Polyester resin which gives superior corrosion resistance over cheaper alternatives.
Our GRP gratings are also tested in accordance with British Standards and achieve one of highest ratings in the UK. These have been installed for use as trackside platforms, safe access walkways and many other applications”.
