We have expert knowledge and work with a ‘safe by design’ ethos. iLECSYS Rail has pioneered the use of non-conductive infrastructure solutions for Network Rail.

To complement these products and to retain earth free systems, iLECSYS Rail manufacture and supply GFRP non-conductive platforms, staging walkways and stairs. A range of off-grid power supply units is in development to offer a fully modular LV architecture, with high-efficiency aluminium transformers, fault location and insulation monitoring systems and composite equipment cases. As a supporting feature to the structures, we offer an innovative range of foundation and civils products, optimising groundworks and minimising train delay.

Lewis Westbury was appointed Managing Director of iLECSYS Rail in 2019. Lewis began his journey with iLECSYS in 2014 as a Marketing and Advertising Executive. After 18 months and learning more about the core of the iLECSYS business his attention was soon caught by the rail division. This began with focussed project advertising and training sessions. Lewis began to shadow Peter Dickson where he gained a vast amount of knowledge and experience. As time went on Lewis soon started to pick up new responsibilities and soon found himself managing various Class II projects, working alongside both Network Rail and their contractors. Later this year Lewis is travelling to Australia to attend the AusRAIL expo and is hoping to develop further business globally in the next few years.

Spare time for Lewis is family time and together with his wife and daughter, enjoy using their Merlin Pass across the UK at the various attractions. As well as following the 'mighty' Chelsea an ideal Sunday involves a roast dinner!
