The Challenge

To construct a four-car hand washing facility by retrofitting the existing walkways with trackpans and connecting new water disposal facilities to the existing drainage network to prevent toxins from entering the ground.

The Solution

Installing trackpan side panels to the washing area directly routes the discharged water to the existing drainage system instead of filtering through the permeable ballast.

The Result

This solution provides a safer level access walkway where the trackpan offers water discharge capture and control to ensure minimum environmental disruption. The safer access platforms allow team members to clean the rolling stock safely.

Cairn Cross’s Delivery Manager, Adam Horton, says, ‘We are proud to deliver our work to EMR to allow train workers easier and safe access to maintain their growing train fleet’ upon completion.

 

Managing director Phil Williamson of Cairn Cross shared on the opening day, “It’s great to see continued investment in the UK’s rail infrastructure. Adding these additional maintenance facilities here at Kettering will drive employment and provide Network Rail with a more resilient maintenance rail infrastructure.
