Dismantling of existing cycle footbridge
1 x 12 hour possession
Econ was contracted on behalf of Network Rail for the dismantling of the ramp section and main span of the existing cycle footbridge in close proximity to Feltham railway station.
The works consisted of careful planning to ensure it was carried out during a 12 hour possession of the track, using a Kirow rail mounted crane to assist dismantling of the footbridge, which was over 30 meters in length and weighing 25 tonnes. The main span was lifted into a laydown area and was then cut into 10 meter sections, using oxy propane cutting equipment so it could be transported to another location using articulated flatbed vehicles. The sections were then lifted off the transport using a 60 tonne mobile crane and stored in the Network Rail yard.
2 x Demolition managers, 2 x Demolition managers, 2 x hot cutting operatives, 6 x demolition operatives. Econ’s team included staff who met the following requirements: CCDO certification, PTS certification, Safety in gas cutting and CPCS D90 certification (demolition plant).
1 x rail mounted kirow crane, 1 x 60 tonne mobile crane, 4 x articulated flatbed vehicles, 1 x roll on off vehicle and 1 x 20 tonne demolition excavator.
Orpington Maintenance Delivery Unit have been utilising Econ’s Services since the commencement of the new Environmental Services contract in October 2021. Since mobilisation Econ have provided our DU with a very efficient and professional service. The customer service and contract team are very friendly and approachable. I use the services of Econ primarily for Non-Emergency call outs which includes both general litter picking and fly tipping jobs as well as larger and more complex waste issues. Every job that I raise is acknowledged and responded to within a quick timescale. Following the completion of each job, I receive a signed completion certificate including photos and detailed commentary. Similarly the period payment reporting is issued on time with full back up information for ease of reference. This enables us to identify jobs and authorise payment quickly. I can strongly recommend the services of Econ who have improved the levels of service previously experienced and assisted our team with the resolution of a number of more difficult and costly cases on our patch.
