Van Elle Teams Deliver Vital Work Over Christmas

Infrastructure Rail

While many were unwinding and enjoying the festive break, our teams were hard at work supporting and completing essential projects nationwide.

Team members from across the business came together to deliver the following projects:

  • At Polesworth, our Rail team carried out embankment widening works, completing the installation of 31No. EZ26 700mm 8m long sheet piles.
  • We assisted with the successful commissioning of the Crewe Basford Hall and Independent Lines (CBHIL) Re-signalling project, our works included the removal of 3No. four-track gantry portals, 4No. two-track cantilevers, 16No. mainline signals, 28No. ground position lights, and 183No. LOC cabinets.
  • At Mirfield Station, our Specialist Piling team supported the construction of a new footbridge as part of Phase 2 works. Over the Christmas period, 10No. piles were installed across four shifts. This brought the total to 22No. permanently cased BCIP/SFA piles installed for Phase 2, building on the success of Phase 1 earlier in the project.

Thank you to the team for sacrificing time with their family and friends to deliver this work.
