The Solution
We were awarded the contract to carry out groundworks and reinforced concrete works to create the structure. We worked in collaboration with Bronx Engineering who designed and built the rail car system. The project was completed in two stages. To minimise the disruption of the factory, we conducted the majority of the works out of normal working hours. Work carried out included:
- CAT scan the area to check for underground electric or telecom services
- Breaking and excavating the factory floor, 30m2 in length
- Installation of reinforced mesh and ground cage to take loads of the rail car and steel material
- Installation of high strength concrete and finishing
- Create a cable turnover point
The project was completed over 14 days – delivered on time and within budget.
