CC Infrastructure Services showcases its capability in heritage cleaning projects

CC Infrastructure Services explains how it helps clean, protect and restore historic landmarks on the railway network.

CC Infrastructure Services has been involved in many heritage cleaning projects over the last 15 years, including building facade cleaning, graffiti removal, structure painting and brickwork restoration.

There are several factors to consider when working alongside heritage infrastructures such as; the type of surface you are restoring, surrounding conditions and age. 

We understand the historical importance of the many listed buildings, statues and structures within the rail industry, which is why in 2014 we became Stonehealth Approved and our teams became experts in heritage surface restoration and maintenance. One of our most commonly used pieces of machinery is the DOFF Machine, a heritage recognised cleaning method which combines low pressure and superheated water to create an unbeatable deep clean.

In 2021, our DOFF cleaning teams visited St Pancras Station in London to carry out a deep clean of the famous ‘Meeting Place’ statue on behalf of Network Rail High Speed. This project involved hand cleaning the statue before using the DOFF machine to clean the granite base. Due to the environment our teams utilised water control methods to ensure that the station was kept dry and safe for the public and our team. You can see our project case study HERE…

Our specialist heritage cleaning services do not stop at statues, we have been involved in a number of station façade cleans and heritage structure refurbishments. In 2015, our teams carried out our DOFF cleaning services to the façade and supporting pillars of Hertford East Station on behalf of Hertfordshire County Council and J Coffey Construction Ltd. You can see our case study on this project HERE…

We also worked alongside Octavius Infrastructure and Network Rail to carry out brickwork cleaning of Victoria Station’s façade. Our teams utilised the DOFF machine and clean-film cleaning system to ensure the best results. View our case study on this project HERE…
