Rail InfrastructureProject Overview
Project to increase the servicing capacity at Sheffield Depot. The provision of canopies, services, lighting and TrackPan containment at each end of the shed increased fueling provisions, AdBlue, CET point, expanded oil distribution facility.
The Challenge
Due to Arriva Rail North Ltd increasing their servicing capacity at Sheffield Depot. The train fleet, including class 195’s, class 170s and class 150s diesels in two and three-car configurations, is serviced at Sheffield depot. The existing arrangement needs to be enhanced to allow for the following servicing requirements: the project set out to design and construct a maintenance facility with fuelling, AdBlue and CET modules installed.
The Solution
Removal of the existing spill protection and excavation to formation levels allowed the casting of 750mm reinforced ring beam to the sheds East and West. Cairn Cross settled a new steel frame with cladding rails complete with the TrackPan system and associated drainage and electrical works. Installation of an AdBlue tank with Armco Safety barriers completed the facility.
The Result
The upgraded facility at Sheffield enables the maintenance allowance and growth of their vast fleet and services. The 35-metres of the new shed and facility extension will fulfil the increased demand.
