Tackling graffiti along the railway

CC Infrastructure Services tells Rail Business Daily about its graffiti removal and protection services, which it has provided to the industry for more than 24 years:

Did you know, when we were founded in 1998 our first service was graffiti removal? Since then, our portfolio of services has expanded but so has our passion for graffiti removal. We have several dedicated, directly employed teams, with more than 20 years’ experience in removing all types of graffiti tags from various substrates in a variety of weird and wonderful places. On average we remove over 22,000m² of graffiti vandalism per year!

As well as expanding our graffiti removal qualifications, in 2009, we became RISQS audited and our teams are all PTS qualified, with extensive experience of working in the rail sector, both trackside, roadside and within your stations.

In 2021, we worked on behalf of Balfour Beatty Rail, removing graffiti and litter from over 4 miles of track from Willesden Junction and Primrose Hill. The works were carried out back-to-back as part of a 5-day rail blockade. Balfour Beatty Rail already had the blockade in place for their renewal works, but they took advantage of the blockade, utilising our services to add value to their client. You can see our case study HERE…

We were also involved in the Brighton Mainline works which took place during a 9-day closure. Our teams were involved in carrying out our deep cleaning services to the platforms and canopies, painting works to ticket halls and waiting rooms and white/yellow lining on the platform edge, as well as graffiti removal from within the station grounds. You can check out our case study on this project HERE…

Keeping our tracks and stations clear of graffiti, litter and vandalism is something that we feel strongly about here at CC Infrastructure Services. Between 2019 and 2020 over 1.7 billion people used our rail services in the UK. Keeping the railway clear of graffiti and litter enhances the experiences of these individuals and creates a safer feel. Click HERE… to read more about our graffiti removal services.

Our Technical Director said, ‘Graffiti and litter on the railway can be unsightly, make passengers feel unsafe and give a “run down” feel to an area. We take great pride in cleaning up these areas and helping to keep the network feeling safe and clean.’
