Projects

Working at the Epping and Ongar railway in Essex, alongside Balfour Beatty. This included installation and project management of a small track under the M11 motorway bridge. Balfour Beatty manned two of their new RRV 360's on test at the railway which were used to assist with the track renewal. 

Commencing in February, we were contracted by Walsh Construction Ltd to reinstate the railway over Stanway Viaduct after it had been waterproofed by Walsh Construction.

The rail lengths were welded into 120ft lengths, as seen in the pictures. This was a time sensitive project, and we achieved completion within timescale.

We worked with AP Webb for the first time, utilising their ballast distributor which worked well in place of a ballast train. We also managed the rail welding project throughout this time.

We undertook various maintenance, tasks and renewals for HNRC. 

The railway hired the RRV 360 with driver and crane controller to assist the S&T and Permanent Way departments with their projects. 

We did a temporary track slew so two boiler wagons could be moved onto three isolated track panels for storage.

We made up the storage track panels then slewed the main line running rails on to temporary interlaced sleepers to form a curve on the track panels.

Once the shunt was completed, we slewed the rails back and returned the running line back to its former position.
