Disruption and Noise – Phases
The works at Christmas are split into 4 phases over the 52-hour railway possession:
1. Mobilisation – Plant is moved into position to access the railway and the structure. Temporary track protection is installed.
2. Demolition Works – The removal of the existing bridge deck, removal of the track protection following muck out, and the
installation of scaffolding.
3. Abutment works – Trimming of the retained abutments and pier and follow-up screed layering.
4. Precast installation – Installation of the precast units to build the abutments and pier back up to the new level, installation of
rebar in advance of follow-on works.
