- Network Rail (NR) commissioned UoB collaborative research using this paper’s approach to develop innovative solutions for substructure remediation. NR formally stated that this resulted in “extremely valuable research to support the development of new technologies that have a significant financial benefit to the railway industry” (Project Director Engineering and Innovation, NR). NR confirmed implementation of three solutions, saving ~£5million/year for two and £6million/km for the third. NR also confirmed that it used the paper's findings to design 10 schemes worth >£3.1m; savings on one scheme alone are estimated at £150m. The findings also directly informed development of NR's micro-piling standard.https://www.thepwi.org/technical_hub/technical_hub_files/a_guide_to_track_bed_micro_piling
