The project involves the demolition and recovery of old, redundant substations along the East Coast Mainline route, which stretches between London and Edinburgh. This critical initiative paves the way for the installation of new substations and the removal of outdated buildings and equipment. 

The primary goal of the project is to clear the site of old substations to make way for new infrastructure, enhancing the efficiency and safety of Network Rail’s operations.

Mettal Infrastructure was selected due to its specialisation in high-risk works and extensive experience in managing similar projects. The company’s ability to deliver complex tasks safely and effectively made it the ideal choice for this scheme.

Glenn Clark, Mettal Infrastructure Managing Director, said:

“We are thrilled to have been entrusted with the East Coast Mainline PSU – Building Recoveries project. Our team’s expertise and innovative approach have been pivotal in navigating the complexities of this project. The successful completion of seven sites so far is a testament to our commitment to excellence and safety. We look forward to continuing our work and contributing to the enhancement of Network Rail’s infrastructure.”

To date, seven sites have been successfully completed, including Hutton Bonville, Colton Junction, Potters Bar, Chathill, Fenham, and York. The remaining sites (Coreys Mill, Balne, Chester-Le-Street, and King Edwards Bridge) are on track for timely completion.
