To provide design services for to support the new Mobiturn wheel lathe.
To provide design services for to support the new Mobiturn wheel lathe.
The existing jacking strips in the heavy maintenance shed do not extent far enough to allow a two-car lift. To avoid splitting units to use the Mobiturn, the jacking strips need to be extended.
Condition of existing slab and the capacity of the jacking strips is unknown so detailed structural investigations needed to be undertaken.
- Site topographical survey, ground investigation and structural coring
- Options study, outline and detailed design
- Drawings, specifications and calculations
- Designer's risk assessment
- Approved for Construction drawings
- As-built records and drawings
- Early deployment to site for surveys, ground investigation and structural coring
- In-house survey management to give and early start on design activity
- Close liaison with construction team to achieve the tight programme for commissioning
- Developing good relationships and lines of communication early in the project through site visits, design review meeting and project meetings

- Through our design development we achieved a more efficient catchment area for the on-site buried interceptor which in turn reduced the size of the interceptor and ultimately the cost of it.
- Effective GI and track design justifications resulted in cost savings by means of more efficient track specification (reduced the depth of the dig) and provision of serviceable materials.

The civils design of new servicing facilities for the Caledonian Sleeper train, from survey works investigating on-site services through to detailed design.
The civils design of new servicing facilities for the Caledonian Sleeper train, from early survey works, through options development, single option development and detailed design. Servicing included shore supplies, access for cleaning and CET cycling. Items of civils design included earthworks and retaining walls to manage the existing ground levels, accommodation building, stores building, pump house, HV substation & switchgear, and shore supplies. Track condition was also reviewed for continued use with gauge clearance checks undertaken.

- Options Report
- Survey specification, Topographical survey and Ground Investigation
- Form 001 and Form 2 Package;
- Form 003 Package
- Track Condition Report
- Inclusion of the Architectural and modular building supplier drawings into the civils submissions.
The use of recessed-lid trough units within the walkway allowed for service routing local to CET points and walkway lighting whilst maintaining a flush finish across the walkway for trolleys.
Determining route of services in restricted areas due to retaining structures, this was undertaken by good interaction with the M&E designer to minimise runs and group services where possible.
Placement of structures to provide good use of space whilst maintain existing road access. This was done by careful use of gradients and falls to allocate sufficient space for vehicle movements and working with the client team to understand future depot use and constraints.
Routing the proposed services through the new walkway apron presented a difficulty in a consistent slip-resistant surface across the walkway. This was designed using a pre-cast concrete trough unit with recessed lid, this allowed for a concrete lid for consistent slip resistance throughout the apron.
