Basically it means that they want to know how you are going to protect their asset whilst you dismantle the factory.

You want to look at any of the operations you will do. Will they affect the railway, e.g. machines fouling the railway, interruption of services i.e. electricity or gas, preventing individuals accessing the railway if fencing is dismantled. Even things such as temporary lighting can have an effect on train drivers as it might blind them at night, or cause them to misread rail signals.

Basically look at all your operations and services to see if they will affect the railway or not and if they do demonstrate how you will manage them.

Don't forget it will also include any replacement or reinstatement cost if you do by chance damage any Railway property; as part of the agreement.

Are you 6m from the boundary fence or 6m from the railway track [or equipment] itself - it could be significant. Working close to railways is a difficult area to generalise upon

If you care to drop me PM, I'll try to assist
