Project Description

Foot Crossing Installation – Ely, Cambridgeshire

Client: Aureos Rail

Location: Ely, Cambridgeshire

Approximate value: c£42k

Start Date & Duration: October 2025 

Description of the works (Scope):

To facilitate the new foot crossing installation, we had to install the proposed foot crossing Strail panels and Steel Edge Beams, and then ensure that the proposed foot crossing system was blended appropriately into the existing track profile and the new walkways either side of the down and up Peterborough railway lines.

Difficulties overcome:

During the excavation stage we located several cables. These were protected with spilt duct and jointing, and then buried with the appropriate warning tape and sand.

The additional civils works at Ely North involved the following:

  • White line painting
  • End restraints
  • Ege beams
  • Boundary fence
  • Install tactiles
  • Pedestrian stiles
  • Repositioning of existing telephone, lights and signage as required.
