Redundant rolling stock disposal and recycling
Three year framework agreement
Econ was retained to dismantle and dispose of redundant rolling stock for a number of TfL’s rail subsidiaries, as part of the company’s vital programme of network upgrading and modernisation.
Works were carried out in live working depots so traffic management and careful planning were required to complete the operation without disrupting TfL’s day to day operations.
All contaminants including asbestos and oils were removed and disposed of in an environmentally responsible way. All other materials arising from the project were recycled and several larger sections of rolling stock carefully removed and transported to the London Transport Museum for historic displays to the public.
Working in a railway environment requires a high degree of health and safety knowledge and expertise and the use of suitably qualified and accredited personnel to carry out the works. Econ’s team included staff who met the following requirements: LUL/LUCAS, Depot Track Accustomed Persons, LU/LUA Protection Masters, LUL CCDO, LUL CPCS

"We found Econ to be talented and professional. We recently employed them to undertake some regeneration work to help us prepare for the building of our new Queen Elizabeth II Centre. Our experience of working with them was excellent. They were conscientious and efficient when working to a tight deadline and we have no hesitation recommending them for other projects."
