Renewing the Raised Track at Bradford MES - PART 2

摘要

We employed a contractor with a small excavator to pull out the old steel 'A' frames along with their concrete footings and, following the line of these 'old' track supports, excavate a rough foundation trench (photo 8). Members then followed behind, hand trimming the trench as required, to fix the shuttering necessary to establish the required levels and transition curves, to allow the foundation concrete to be poured (photo 9). Whilst this was carried out, it became evident that we had a blocked land drain and this had to be excavated and a replacement drain pipe installed (photo 10). With this all complete, a start could be made on the rebuilding (photo 11).
