Brent Cross West Station
Mobile Access & Protection
Scaffold Design & Engineering,
Rail
Brent Cross West Station is being constructed on the existing Midland Mainline through lines as part of the Brent Cross Cricklewood regeneration. The regeneration is underpinned by major transport improvements, with the new Thameslink station connecting to King’s Cross St Pancras in under 15 minutes.
RDG was commissioned to design mobile access to facilitate the installation of the canopy steel along the length of all four platforms. A track-mounted independent was designed, with a GRP membrane to protect operatives from passing trains. The track and bogie system was bolted into the concrete platform at given centres to mitigate against overturning from wind loading and wind buffeting. The solution ensured simultaneous construction works remained unobstructed and the railway remained operational.
