Ryde Pierhead (IOW Platform Refurb Scheme) for OSL Global (South Western Railway)

Pierhead station is approximately 120 m long and varies in width. The entire structure is a steel structure set over the sea, mainly encased in concrete. Adjacent sectiopns of the disused pier were in poor condition.

Client: OSL Global

Location: Isle of Wight

Station: Ryde Pierhead

The scheme was to raise the platform gauge by 400mm and close off the rear section of the platform with a handrail system to prevent passengers accessing a disused section of the platform.

Hammond ‘Mountbridge’ platform systemTM was installed. The works were completed in four shifts for the main platform works. Additional access ramps with dda handrails were installed to the pierhead end.

Station: Ryde Esplanade

The platform radius was set on a very tight convex curve. The platform was part traditional build and part steel pier construction set over the sea. Adjacent stations were Ryde Pierhead and Ryde St Johns.

Due to increases in platform height to suit the new passenger trains the existing rear platform fences were extended in height.

Elephant & Castle Station for Network Rail, South East Region

Back to all case studies

The existing platform construction comprised of an elevated precast concrete platform, (8 metre above road level) mounted above the original brick arch viaduct, the existing platform was then overlaid with 100mm deep asphalt finish.

Date: 12th March 2021

Client: Network Rail

Location: London

Station: Elephant & Castle

The Mountbridge adjustable frp platform systemTM (Patent no 2515519) was overlaid above this construction to overcome the severe stepping distance issues at the platform. There was a requirement to raise the platform level by 150/200mm and similar figures for oversail.
