We are keen to work in collaboration with all our customers and lineside neighbours to safeguard you and the railway.</p> <p>We’ve looked at 41 separate categories of risk that could cause problems, delays or extra cost to a project on the railway and analysed where Network Rail can take ownership of that risk, or made it clear who will cover it. An ‘industry risk fund’ has been established to enable Network Rail to take the risk and fund liabilities when projects encounter certain unforeseen industry related problems. <a href="https://www.networkrail.co.uk/industry-and-commercial/third-party-investors/downloads-for-third-parties/">The default risk allocation table is available from our downloads for third parties page</a> and details each potential risk and who is responsible for it – Network Rail, the industry risk fund, the sponsoring customer or the enhancement contractor.</p> <p>Our ASPRO teams advise on the potential impact of different kinds of work including construction, maintenance and work near level crossings. They can visit you on site and give advice at meetings.</p> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="open">Open for Business</h2> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-4 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <p>We are making it easier for other organisations to invest in and build on the railway.
