Specialist enabling works for the rail sector
Clifford Devlin provides a number of specialist enabling and building solutions to the rail industry:
Demolition
Clifford Devlin has traditionally specialised in delivering logistically difficult, complex, demolition projects which present challenges that arise from restricted working area and the proximity of sensitive receptors.
We are accredited by Link-Up (V2) to undertake lineside demolition. Our work is typically carried out under controlled conditions by isolating the structure (using scaffolding and erecting screens) and then carefully, progressively dismantling the formation whilst ensuring the adjacent rail infrastructure remains protected.
We have experience of demolishing the following rail structures:
- Signal boxes
- Substations
- P-way huts
- Loc boxes
- Station architecture
- Neighbouring properties
Asbestos removal
Clifford Devlin is also accredited by the same Link Up process and licensed by the HSE to carry out remediation of asbestos in rail environments. We can safely remove and dispose of asbestos containing materials (via our own Waste transfer station) from substations, flash guards, ducting, trunking, roofs, rainwater goods and station premises. All removal is carried out by competent operatives under controlled conditions. We are a member of the Asbestos Removal Contractors Association (ARCA).
Our survey team can locate and identify the presence of ACM’s and assess the risk to maintenance staff and the public.
Other services
Other services we can offer the rail sector include:
- Landscaping (including paving)
- re-instatement of structures such as embankments and culverts
- foundations and pile removal
- refurbishment of stations
