VR SOP Training for Rail Infrastructure Maintenance

Standardise safe work on track and overhead line

Track and OHL work carry real risk. Spark builds bespoke VR training around your possessions, safe systems of work, plant use, points maintenance and signalling interfaces—so crews rehearse the exact routine before night possessions.

Pain points we address

  • Access & isolation: line blocks, permits and earthing/bonding.
  • Track tasks: tamping, rail replacement, weld/grind and gauge checks.
  • OHL tasks: isolations, height/stagger checks and component swaps.
  • Interfaces: points detection and basic signalling handbacks.

How the custom build helps

  1. Capture SOPs & rules: method statements, checklists and handback criteria.
  2. Create scenarios: night work set-up, plant moves, fault rectification and handback.
  3. Coach in VR: prompts mirroring your forms and site signage.
  4. Assess: right-first-time, near-miss trends and retraining needs.

Benefits

  • Safer shifts and cleaner handbacks.
  • Fewer overruns and defects.
  • Traceable competence for audits.
