Description of the works (Scope):

Difficulties to overcome:

This was a challenging project undertaken over 5 weekends working around Colas rail track renewal works and track works re-rail project.

Over multiple weekends BPH Rail and Civil Engineering had to work in stages to fully renew Saxmundham level crossing from the outdated Concrete Bo-Mag crossing to a new Strail crossing including new concrete beams, anti-trespass, aco drainage, road surface works, new road and crossing line painting whilst having to remove and reinstate nearby chantry lane level crossing every weekend for associated rail works.

Positive / Notable Actions:

• Whilst undertaking these works we utilised there our own specialist plant equipment whilst trialling new attachments and exclusion zone lights
• The level crossing was removed and reinstated for stressing. Follow-up tamping and 6 week tamping
• The surface works and line painting were carried out once the 6-week tamping was completed
• All works were completed and handed back on time every weekend without any accidents or incidents
