https://lnkd.in/eRzzVcFn A good article from Yesterday setting out some of the perceived major problems with the HS2 project among other things these boil down to 1) overengineering due to the risk apportionment 2) A lack of skilled building workers due to the current acknowledged labour shortage 3) Several changes in design particularly around Euston station. #hs2 #budgetoverruns #overengineering #costs #costenvelope #rail #railprojects #highspeedrail #Euston

One of the challenges faced by the OHL industry is line replacement over existing infrastructure. Increasingly stringent OHL regulations can make maintenance costly, time-consuming and challenging, often involving scaffolding and the suspension of services below. CatchBlock is an innovative overhead line (OHL) catenary roller system. Designed to deploy a two-rope system, it allows the recovery of broken conductors without the need to take possession of client/third party property or infrastructure. Catchblock has been approved by Network Rail, National Grid and National Highways. We are so proud of this product at Slingco! https://lnkd.in/dyENvkVY. #UKmfg #overheadlines #utilities #utilityindustry #ohl #transmissionlines #restringing #powertransmission

Haigh Rail Limited has completed a rail replacement project following the discovery of a cracked/defect rail within an embedded road section of rail infrastructure. It was ascertained that the affected rail could not be plated, so an approval was given to replace a 5m section. In advance of the works, our Track team completed a survey and planning commenced with our client for a 40 hour possession with the necessary Traffic Management established by our team. Haigh Rail proceeded with road cutting parallel to either side of the defective rail, removed the existing ALH and removed the surrounding concrete utilising plant with a slew restrictor and hand tools to expose the rail and fixings. The damaged rail was cut and removed from site allowing for the installation of the new rail, which was installed to gauge and track geometry, welded and ground to specification. Rapid set concrete was installed within the exposed area to generate the required space for the inclusion of ALH. Shuttering was placed between the rail and the straight cut concrete to create a void for pouring the on-site mixed ALH. All materials, plant, tools and barriers were removed before the re-opening of the line, including the Traffic Management, which was staged throughout the works, to allow for extended use of the busy roundabout, minimising disruption to the public.
