Maintenance and engineering work.
Maintenance and engineering work can be noisy – but we try hard to keep noise and disruption to a minimum. (Нужен ли курсив? Это подзаголовок или что?)
Maintenance is the general day-to-day upkeep of the railway which keeps the trains running, such as looking after tracks, signals and power supply. Engineering is the larger scale infrastructure work, such as track replacement.
When Network Rail* began to run the railway in October 2002, we faced a huge backlog of engineering work. Over the last three years, we have replaced and upgraded much of the infrastructure and significantly improved the safety and reliability of the railway.
We try to minimise noise and disruption from work (То же самое)
We use a range of measures to minimise noise and disruption including:
Requiring our employees and contractors to behave considerately towards people who live and work near the railway.
Positioning lighting and generators away from homes.
Using silenced equipment where possible.
We give advance notice of engineering works – where possible
When we are planning engineering works near residential areas, we aim to send letters to local people 10 days before the work begins. The letters explain what we plan to do and when we expect to start and finish the work. When a large engineering project is planned, we also tell local authorities and other community representatives such as members of parliament, local councilors.
For maintenance work (such as emergency repairs or general upkeep), it is not possible for us to tell the people who live nearby. This is because maintenance work takes place every day and night of the year which makes it impractical to give advance notice to all the people affected by every job.
Answer the questions:
What is the text about?
What is the key profile area of Network Rail company?
What work does the maintenance of railway track involve?
How does Network Rail company try to do to minimise noise and disruption from work?
What else does Network Rail company try to do for large engineering projects?
What makes it impractical to give advance notice to all the people affected by every job?
