West London Platform Extensions

Lionweld Kennedy designed, supplied, fabricated and installed extensions to existing platforms in order to accommodate longer trains and add a new emergency end of platform staircase . The platforms we worked on was Shepherds Bush, Imperial Wharf, West Brompton and Clapham Stations.

We provided GRP deck, below deck screens, mesh litter screens, end of platform steps, fencing and lockable gates as well as associated handrails, plinths, fixtures and fittings.

The GRP deck panel’s increased strength allows spans of 4000mm clear span with a 5kn/m² pedestrian loading.

This meets all network rail load requirements and is fully approved and in use.

Additional strengthening to the deck was required to accommodate the lighting/CCTV columns shown above.

We added white and yellow edge lines and safety lines as well as the tactile pavers moulded to the deck.

The gritted anti-slip surface is also ideal for this application where safety is paramount.
