About this project

With the opening of the new Elizabeth Line, there is expected to be more traffic on the Great Eastern Line, especially in its Southern portion, London Liverpool Street being on both routes.

Because of this, recent years have seen a series of upgrades to overhead power lines and associated infrastructure on the Great Eastern Line.

Working with Network Rail, main contractor J Murphy & Sons and Andromeda Engineering, WCS was asked to partner on a project to replace a number of Power Supply Points. This work is currently at PACE 1 (Development & Project Selection), completing civil engineering design, plus a trio of surveys with which we’re very familiar – topographical, ground investigation and PAS-128 underground utility assessment.
