Introduction
The project is funded by the Department for Transport (DFT) to upgrade the Island Line and its associated infrastructure to provide a better journey and more frequent services to the island.
Our Involvement
IPS Design & Consultancy have been appointed by the Principal Contractor OSL Global to deliver a Multi-Disciplinary Design for the line upgrades. From the outline design to detailed design, IPS delivered a full system design service covering Civil and Structures, Architectural, M&E, E&P, ETE, and Track Disciplines.
Key Challenges
- The new track alignment is lower than the original alignment and therefore could undermine the platform structure due to its shallow foundations. IPS has proposed a strengthening method via a “unique foundation support” arrangement that provides construction certainty to the project.
- Due to time constraints, there was a constant open discussion amongst various stakeholders to have Right-First Time Approach.
