| Mott MacDonald providing design for two railway station upgrades, UK Mott MacDonald is providing design services to BAM Nuttall for the upgrade of railway stations at Bingley in West Yorkshire and MetroCentre in Tyne and Wear. The improvements are part of Network Rail's Access for All (AfA) programme, which is improving access at key stations nationwide by installing lifts and ramps. The consultancy is delivering the detailed design for new 16 person lifts at Bingley. The project includes an extension to the existing footbridge as well as a new staircase and landing area. Due to the complexity of this station and the interface with the existing structure, a full building information model has been produced by the consultancy to highlight possible design clashes. Mott MacDonald is also providing outline design for the MetroCentre station upgrade which includes civil, geotechnical, electrical, signalling, telecommunication and environmental engineering expertise. New 16 person lifts will be constructed on both platforms, located between the existing footbridge and waiting rooms. The Bingley and MetroCentre station upgrades are due to be completed by the second quarter of 2014. write your comments about the article :: © 2013 Construction News :: home page |
