Metronet Rail: Ladbroke Grove Station

Client: Metronet Rail
Project: Ladbroke Grove Station
Value: £185k
Start: April 2008
Completion: May 2008

Scope:

Initial inspection to a platform drainage channel revealed that water ingress had undermined the compacted earth fill beneath the platform, and created a risk of a major embankment slip to the rear of the station which endangered station accomodation buildings adjacent to the platform.

Works included:

• Replacement of 33m of drainage channel
• Relaying of platform paving to eliminate trip hazards
• Grout injection to stabilise earth beneath the platforms
• Shuttering to arch faces, installation of 188 resin anchors
• Placement of steel reinforcement
• Infilling of 2 brick arches with 9 cubic meters of concrete
• Finishing to arch faces
• Reprofiling of embankments.
