Trough-Lite™

Lightweight cable

protection troughs

Using lightweight concrete technology,

that has been utilised and proven for

years when manufacturing concrete

fencing products, FP McCann have

developed a lightweight C series troughing

system. The lightweight Trough-Lite

system has the same dimensions as the

company’s traditional products, so that

two systems are fully compatible. Trough-

Lite reduces the concerns associated

with manual handling due to a weight

reduction of up to 30%, when compared

to standard concrete.

Trough-Lite is a cost effective lightweight

product that is up to 50% cheaper than

alternative lightweight products currently

available. This lightweight solution offers

FP McCann provides a number of construction solutions for new build platforms and platform

extensions. These range from the very traditional approach, through to the latest innovations in

modular design. Every station can provide a different set of challenges and FP McCann has the

right solution to answer these challenges.

Precast reinforced concrete retaining wall

Prestressed hollowcore planks and reinforced

concrete beams

The use of hollowcore widespan flooring planks reduces

labour and time onsite, while providing a cost effective

working platform.

Prestressed hollowcore planks and reinforced

concrete crosswalls

Removing the need for masonry work, a precast crosswall can

be combined with hollowcore planks to provide a more efficient

construction system that can be installed with greater speed.

The traditional platform construction can be replaced with

an FP McCann precast platform retaining wall. This can be

combined with FP McCann’s oversail blocks to provide an

offsite solution to the traditional construction method.

FP McCann have developed an

adaptable modular precast platform

system, which has the flexibility to be

suitable for most platform construction

WYVQLJ[Z�

With extensive experience in modular

precast platforms, including high profile

WYVQLJ[Z�H[�)SHJRMYPHYZ�HUK�3VUKVU�Bridge, FP McCann have been able to

demonstrate the benefits to a scheme

of utilising a precast modular system in

place of more traditional construction

methods.

FP McCann Modular Platforms have

the versatility to be adopted on almost

all platform schemes, with a number

of standard components which can be

selected from to provide solutions to

scenarios such as: large width platform,

curved platforms, derailment loadings &

Island platforms.

FP McCann offer a full design service,

and are able to develop solutions for

HU`�WSH[MVYT�JVUZ[Y\J[PVU�WYVQLJ[��+\L�to the flexibility in manufacture cast in

items to aid construction on site can

be accommodated, for example cast in

channel to hang services, fixing sockets

for lighting columns and platform signs.

FP McCann platforms can be provided

with a finished surface to meet the

required slip resistance, and can be

delivered with the platform coper and/

or tactile paving factory fitted

Semi-modular precast reinforced concrete front/rear walls and slabs

Modular reinforced concrete platform

FP McCann’s fully modular precast reinforced concrete platforms

are the latest innovation in platform construction in the UK. A one

piece unit allows up to 50m of platform construction per night time

possession, which can take up to three weeks in traditional build.

A semi-modular precast system with front wall construction allows

ample access for services and crawl space. Apertures can be

formed in the front to also allow access trackside.

Removing the need for hollowcore planks gives a level surface

without the need for a levelling screed. A semi-modular precast

system further reduces the need for onsite wet trades and allows

flexibility in its design. Precast slabs allow for greater coverage per

unit, making them more economical.

Table and Kicker Units

Table units are best utilised where a platform has

a consistent width, with little to no curvature.

Table units are used alongside a kicker unit and

are suitable for both non impact and impact sce-

narios. They can also be used back to back as

system is best suited to straight platforms with

a large width. This system can be also be used

where impact loading is required and accommo-

date platform widths of up to 6m and above.

platform sizes or foundation heights.

Designs can be customised to suit any

shape and size of platform including

curved or sloping sections

� Integrated fixings, services and drainage

reducing the time required to drill, fix and

assemble once onsite

Curved platforms

Platform sections can be cast with a

ZTHSS�[HWLY�I`�\ZPUN�HKQ\Z[HISL�TV\SK�sides; these tapered sections enable

curved platforms to be constructed up

to a minimum radius of 300m. For tighter

curved platforms FP McCann can design

and manufacture bespoke sections to suit

any location.

Foundations

FP McCann’s modular precast platform

solution has been designed to cater for

a range of foundation types to suit most

ground conditions. Typical foundations

range from simple strip footings to driven

piles. All designs are compatible with our

universal base design which is used to

locate each platform section in place.

Finishes

Platform sections are available with a

trowelled finish to allow surfacing or

paving, or can be provided with a slip

resistant finish to meet network rail

standards. FP Mccann are also able to

prefit required commercial flag and block

paving products to further reduce wet

trades on site.

Quality assurance

FP McCann’s precast modular solution is

manufactured using a wet-cast process

and compliant to BS 8110 and European

Standard Eurocode 2.

Manufacturing standards

All FP McCann products are

manufactured in accordance with

ISO 9001 with factory compliance

to ISO 14001.

Platform construction

Single wet-cast concrete construction,

additional pre-painted platform copings

and tactile paving are attached as a

secondary operation. These can be fixed

in place prior to delivery at our factory or

fixed onsite.

Installation

Entire platform sections can be lifted into

place with the use of a crane, mechanical

offload or specialist lifting rail vehicles

together with copers, tactiles and cable

trays if required.

Complementary products

Designed for use with FP McCann

platform copings, tactiles, drainage and

hard landscaping products.
