CC Infrastructure Services tells Rail Business Daily about its busy year in the rail sector, with a round-up of projects delivered as it looks forward to a bright 2023.
As we are approaching the end of the year, we have started to reflect on 2022 and some of the projects we have carried out. It has been an incredible year within the rail sector, we have been involved in a number of exciting projects and are looking forward to the what is in the pipeline for 2023.
In January, we were involved in a full metallic structure refurbishment project on behalf of Dyer and Butler at Old York Road. We had a number of our directly employed ICATS and PTS trained teams operating on this project, preparing the surface of the structure to ST3 sound surface standard before installing a protective and decorative paint system. This project involved working at height, operating within a temperature-controlled environment and working trackside. We and the client were thrilled with the results of the project, with the structure not only looking great but is now protected from general wear and tear for up to 15 years.

A similar project to Old York Road was the works carried out at Oakley and Pack Lane later on this year on behalf of Dyer & Butler. Oakley and Pack Lane was carried out during a dedicated closure of the surrounding roads and track. Our ICATS and PTS teams utilised specialist height access to prepare the parapets of the structure to St3 sound surface standard before applying a specialist protective paint system.

We have been involved in a number of metallic structure refurbishment projects since we first became RISQ accredited in 2009, however, the demand for these types of projects has really picked up in the last 18 months or so, with many of the largest, well known railway structures undergoing some much needed restoration and receiving the TLC that they deserve. As a company we are in support of the regeneration of infrastructure, where safe to do so. We have the tools, experience and training to transform visually, as well as improve the safety of existing railway infrastructure. Restoration is a cost effective and sustainable way of lifting up the infrastructure and creating a better journey for those who utilise the railway.
Our rail sector capabilities do not stop at metallic structure refurbishment projects, this year we have carried out a number of brickwork restoration projects including Hayward Heath. Our IPAF trained teams utilised our microstrip system to remove a build up of years’ worth of dirt, grime, limescale and oils from the brickwork. Once the project was complete, the walls looks a completely different colour and it was easier to notice if there was any damage to any of the bricks. You can view our project case study here…
We are extremely excited for what is to come in the New Year as we welcome onboard new client relationships and embark on some fascinating projects including station refurbishments, canopy restorations, trackside graffiti removal and more!
We would like to take this opportunity for following our 2022 journey and to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We look forward to continuing our rail sector journey in 2023!
