The construction of Brent Cross West Station, part of the Brent Cross Cricklewood regeneration, is transforming transport connectivity in the area. Situated on the Midland Mainline through lines, the new Thames link station will connect to King’s Cross St Pancras in under 15 minutes, supporting the region’s major transport upgrades.
RDG provided a bespoke scaffold design to facilitate the installation of canopy steelwork along the length of all four platforms. The solution involved a track-mounted independent scaffold system, designed with a GRP membrane to protect workers from passing trains. To ensure stability, the track and bogie system was securely bolted into the concrete platform at specified intervals, mitigating overturning risks from wind loading and buffeting.
This innovative scaffold system ensured that simultaneous construction activities were not obstructed while allowing the railway to remain fully operational. By prioritising safety, efficiency, and minimal disruption, the design played a pivotal role in the smooth progress of this transformative project for the Brent Cross area.
