Project Overview
Condition led renewal and remodelling of a munitions Road and Rail Transfer facility at HMNB (Clyde)
Deterioration of the concrete embedded rails caused the facility to be withdrawn from operational service in 2011
Services Undertaken
Validation of the derived rail design (GRIP 3) and preparation of the detailed rail design (GRIP 4+5), for a fully concrete embedded depot operating as a road and rail transfer point
Permanent Way design, structural rail concrete slab design, buffer stop specification, bespoke concrete embedded turnout switch clearance and drainage design, rail signage specification and structure gauging analysis
Designs prepared in line with MOD Rail standards
