Drumfochar Road Kerbing

Client Inverclyde Council
Value £45,000
Location Inverclyde

Description of works

Drumfrochar Road Rail bridge carries traffic over the Glasgow- Wemyss Bay rail line and had underwent a structural assessment that identified a weakness in the structure elements underneath the footways of Drumfrochar Road. The assessment was carried out by AECOM on behalf of Network Rail. It was recommended that the kerb height be increased to remove the risk of accidental wheel loading on these elements. The bridge was currently restricted to 24T vehicle loading.

Approach

The works comprised the following principle elements:

  • General site clearance
  • Excavation works
  • Resurfacing works
  • Kerbing works
  • Block Paving
  • Road construction
  • Installation of road markings and signs

Project Challenges

Road diversions and pedestrian management to be considered during working conditions. Covanburn had to liaise and work alongside Network Rail to ensure project requirements were met.

Project Outcome

The structure elements were strengthened underneath the footways of Drumfrochar Road. Covanburn increased the kerb height to remove the risk of accidental wheel loading. Project delivered on time and fully in house.
