Survey Solutions’ Expansion Continues with the Acquisition of JWG Survey & Engineering
Published on by Alex Hardy

We’re excited to announce our entry into the rail sector by acquiring JWG Survey & Engineering.
JWG was first established in 2015 and have since become reputable for providing surveys and engineering services that support the safety, efficiency and reliability of the railway infrastructure by providing automated and manual monitoring, topographic and control surveys, clearance surveys, track alignment and design verification. The team works to the highest industry standards, including RISQS.
Operating across the UK rail network, JWG supports asset owners, principal contractors and consultants from early feasibility through construction and maintenance. The team combines practical site experience with modern instrumentation and clear reporting. Services are delivered by experienced surveyors and engineers who prioritise safety, possession planning and minimal disruption. Clients receive reliable data and actionable insight that keeps programmes moving and supports confident decision making.
Jake Gaskell, Managing Director of JWG Survey & Engineering will remain with the business as Managing Director, Rail Service Line. His comments are: “Although JWG is still a relatively young company, we have already established an excellent reputation. The opportunity to join forces with Survey Solutions was just too good to miss and provides a win-win for everyone.”
“We’ll benefit from the resources of being part of a larger group; Survey Solutions will benefit from our expertise in the rail market; and our respective clients will benefit from an even wider range of first-class services, delivered by engineers at the top of their game.”
Together with Survey Solutions, JWG will offer greater capacity, national mobilisation and secure digital delivery. Clients gain consistent reporting, shorter lead times and a single point of accountability from survey to handover across the rail lifecycle.
“Jake and the JWG team are a great fit for our core Survey Solutions business. We’re very much looking forward to working with the team and continuing to grow the combined businesses in coming months.”
