This contract called for the design of new
platform, associated track, building works and a subway. A
development of the existing station, the solution upgraded
passenger facilities and considerably reduced conflicting train
movements entering the station. The new 300m long platform was
built over the site of an old platform demolished many years
before. Initial works included the identification of existing S&T
cables and subsequent slewing of them to allow new works to take
place. Other services included a Transco gas main buried in the
subway floor and high voltage electrical supplies.
A 16 person lift and staircase were required to provide access to
the platform and its associated facilities. The superstructure
comprises a steel framed building with blockwork walls & extensive
glazed elevations, all detailed to allow for the substantial
electrical works associated with the retail and ticketing
facilities, time table monitors and CCTV. |
