Project Description

Westbury Station Works (Coper Adjustment, trough and RRAP)

Client: Colas Rail

Location: Westbury, Wiltshire

Approximate value: c£130k

Start Date & Duration: January 2025 ( 2 weekend possession)

Description of the works (Scope):

  • Adjust 80m of coper and tactiles based on the X’s and Y’s provided on the AFC
  • Where needed the installation of coper support brackets were needed where the overhang exceeded 169mm.
  • Breakout and reinstate platform tarmac in accordance with the latest AFC
  • Install new white and yellow line where required.
  • Install Single 10.8m TTAP including metal T-Section beams
  • Supply and install 250 Lm C1/10 troughing

Difficulties overcome:

Other station works were taking place in the area and 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 weather was very cold and hessian blankets were used on the concreted joints to ensure they set correctly and didn’t crack.

Positive / Notable Actions:

  • Zero harm approach, no accidents of incidents and over 1,300 man hours worked over 2 weekend possessions
  • BPH used our Mobile slab lifter which helped reduce the amount of manual handling that was required for these works..
  • Dedicated mixing areas were set up to avoid getting the platform dirty and saving on cleaning up time allowing more attention to detail on finalising the works.
