The Gatwick Train Station upgrade, a critical component of the broader Brighton Main Line improvement initiative, aims to enhance the station's capacity and improve passenger experience. This project is a part of Network Rail's commitment to upgrade infrastructure, ensuring safety, efficiency, and modern facilities for travellers. Gatwick Airport Station, serving as a key transit hub, necessitated significant upgrades to accommodate increasing passenger numbers and future-proof its operations.The project's specific requirements included:Back of House: Full access to the flat roof area for maintenance and safety inspections.Platform 3 & 4: General roof access to gutters to ensure proper drainage and maintenance.Main Concourse Roof: General access to ETFE (ethylene tetrafluoroethylene) rooflights and gutters for regular maintenance and cleaning.To meet these requirements, the following solutions were employed:Back of House – Free Standing GuardrailTo ensure safe access across the entire flat roof area without compromising the structural integrity of the building a free standing guardrail provided a non-penetrative solution, offering collective protection without the need for fixing into the roof membrane, thereby maintaining the roof's waterproofing integrity.Main Concourse Roof – MSA ManSafe SystemsTo provide secure and efficient access to ETFE rooflights and gutters, the MSA ManSafe Systems were installed. This system enabled safe access for maintenance personnel to perform necessary inspections and cleaning, ensuring the rooflights and gutters remain functional and in good condition.Platform 3 & 4 – Ascent Aluminium Walkway & StepsTo facilitate safe and easy access to the roof gutters the Ascent Aluminium Walkway & Steps system provided a durable and slip-resistant path, allowing maintenance crews to navigate the roof area safely and efficiently.Main Concourse Roof – Ascent Aluminium Walkway & StepsSimilar to Platform 3 & 4, the objective was to ensure safe access to roof areas. This system was crucial for maintaining the ETFE rooflights and gutters, offering a robust and reliable access route for maintenance tasks.Platform 3 & 4 – MSA ManSafe SystemsTo ensure comprehensive safety for personnel accessing the roof areas, the ClimbLatch ManSafe Systems were installed. This system provided fall protection and secure access points, enhancing overall safety during maintenance operations.The implementation of these solutions by Lindner Prater Ltd. significantly enhanced the safety and accessibility of Gatwick Train Station's roof areas. The tailored safety systems ensured that maintenance personnel could perform their duties efficiently without compromising their safety or the integrity of the station's infrastructure. These upgrades are a pivotal part of the station's modernisation, aligning with Network Rail's goal to deliver a more reliable and user-friendly railway service.For more details on the Gatwick Train Station upgrade, visit the Network Rail project page

All the roof areas are located at different levels, therefore a solution to provide safe access was required.

Network Rail has redeveloped the 180-year old London Bridge station – the fourth busiest station in the country with over 54 million passengers passing through every year.

A Noracon Travelling Gantry was installed to the full width and length of the North Ticket Hall suspended from aluminium monorails concealed within the ceiling. The Gantry was designed to travel parallel to the escalators beneath utilising a rope driven trolley which removed the requirement for any electrical connections. To enable the platform to travel the full length. part of the gantry was designed to become detached from the main section, allowing it to be “jettisoned” at the point where the new lift obstructs travel. The two sections become independent allowing the gantry to travel the remaining distance.

The Hepworth Gallery required access to their low pitched roofs to facilitate safe working at height when carrying out external glazing cleaning and general maintenance. The concrete design of the building resulted in a thin roof construction, so The Gallery needed to ensure that any systems installed were fit-for-purpose, fully tested and compatible. With such a prestigious and architecturally prominent building, it was imperative that the chosen system also suited the design of the building.

Whitechapel Station is a London Underground & Overground station in the district of Whitechapel in greater London and was originally opened in 1876. Since then it has been redeveloped many times to take into account the growing use of the station. Whilst step-free access is not available, with all access via stairs, this caused many issues as the station is becoming busier and busier. Crossrail have started construction of the programme of station upgrade activity  during the second half of 2017 and into 2018.
