Washing and Train Servicing Facility

We constructed a building to house the washing equipment, including a pumping system and water treatment facilities, along with the necessary track and catenary systems for train access. All work was carried out while nearby stabling tracks remained in operation. The project was completed and handed over in accordance with the contract terms. 

Wide Range of Competencies

The main building of the washing complex is 90 metres long, built from precast concrete elements. It features slab track construction and a modern washing system, supported by an additional building housing offices, toilets, ventilation, and plant facilities. 

Due to challenging ground conditions, we established a comprehensive pile foundation. The entire project was delivered by our own teams, covering earthworks, drainage, complex installations, track, and catenary works. In a neighbouring project, we also built new stabling tracks and train servicing facilities.
