Norton Bridge, Staffordshire RAIL

Requirement. To install a new pedestrian foot bridge to access the central platform.

A new footbridge at Norton Bridge required a topographical survey to design and arrange crane access to the site. With trains speeds over 100mph, working safely on stations and track surveys is of paramount importance. Every team member is fully trained in personal trackside safety and awareness.

The compound was surveyed without access being necessary, thus avoiding the need to arrange a key holder. Again this was achieved using Reflectorless technology. Accuracy was maintained, and the necessary information was produced for the client.
