Airdrie to Bathgate

Cient: Network Rail
Value: £2.5 million
Location: North Lanarkshireand West Lothian

Morrison Construction completed an enabling works contract for the major Airdrie–Bathgate Railway Link project. This involved the demolition of five overbridges and the reconstruction of four of them during a week long blockade of the railway.

The largest and most complex of the projects was overbridge 6 in Gogar, Edinburgh. It involved substantial embankment works, masonry works, surfacing, utility diversions and the installation of containment parapets. A particular challenge was casting in-situ concrete wingwall units which involved extensive scaffolding and a challenging formwork arrangement.
