GBR was Contracted to install 2no new flumes pipes in the cutting and connected them to 2no utxs under 4 lines of the west coast mainline with 4 no new CPS and an additional 40 meters of 300mm cess pipe this was all done under a 54hr blockade.
Outcomes
This was delivered with all or own labour and plant.
We were able to install this all on time. There were a few challenges on the way on the scheme due on seen services and old drainage runs which caused us flooding at the start of the works which we were able to control with a good over pumping system which was but in place, after all civils works was finished. GBR was then given the task of reinstating all trough routes and lifting all cables back into routes. This was a very good scheme for us due to being so many elements of work that needed to be carried out in the whole scheme civils and rail together. GBR’s team effort was superb throughout.
