Gloucester Station Platform Modifications

Gloucester, formerly known as Gloucester Central, is a railway station serving the city of Gloucester in England. It is located 114 miles 4 chains west of London Paddington.

The project was completed within a demanding 10-day timeframe as part of a larger blockade, highlighting the logistical complexity and challenges of the site. With no train or Road-Rail Vehicle (RRV) assistance available, meticulous planning and coordination were essential. Close collaboration with our client, Colas Rail, was crucial to ensure that our respective works were seamlessly integrated, avoiding any detrimental impact on each other’s progress.

The success of this project underscores the importance of collaborative working, which was instrumental in overcoming the challenges and ensuring the project’s successful delivery.
