The Wales and Western Integrated Infrastructure Team (Swindon) contacted Railcare to visit a site known locally as White’s Crossing.
This site is located on a particularly important and busy line servicing the Torr Works Aggregate Quarry, which is currently supplying materials for the prestigious HS2 Project.
Railcare advised the delivery team on how they could assist them in the excavation and re-ballasting of the 951 A/B crossover. The crossover is a critical piece of infrastructure that allows access to the quarry, and an imposed temporary speed restriction was affecting performance outputs.
Railcare provided the delivery team with engineering assistance and a train plan/methodology for the project. The Railvac works were planned to be undertaken over 4 x 12 hr back-to-back shifts during two-weekend blockades.
