RAIL INFRASTRUCTURE

Steelway offer invaluable engineering expertise and specialist fabrication experience providingan extensive range of access metalwork solutions for the rail industry. As well as a full portfolioof access metalwork we also design, manufacture and install many bespoke products from smallladders or covers to large structures such as walkways, gantries and bridges.

Steelway are involved on numerous railway upgrades and rail installation projects on the rail network throughoutthe UK. We design, supply, and install rail access structures including staircases, ladders, walkways, steelplatforms, handrail/guardrail systems and other station upgrades. We have invested considerably over the lastseveral years in design and fabrication processes including up to date 3D inventor design software and new lasercutting technology. This coupled with our fabrication and operating systems put us at the leading edge offabrication excellence.

Steelway recommend involvement at the early stage of a project cycle by giving support for project costing,design input and project presentation graphics. Value added engineering can help to reduce the cost of a projectconsiderably.

Recent projects include platforms for mounting signalling equipment at track side on the Bletchley upgradeproject, at Milton Keynes, and at Blackfriars station we supplied the platform canopy structures and also accessmetalwork. We have replaced a number of wooden staircases and platforms with GRP fabrications to giveaccess to signal boxes.

All our fabrications are compliant with railway regulations. All our products can be manufactured in GRP whichbeing a non conductive material is particularly useful in areas around electrified lines and potentially hazardousor corrosive areas.

FENCING & GATES

Whilst it could be argued that a fence is just a fence, as with most things it isoften more complex than it would first appear. At a huge number of locationsthe appropriate style of appearance is a prerequisite whilst also taking onboard the issue of its maintenance. Steelway have produced a range ofproducts which accurately reproduce the appearance of the original Victorianproducts but using modern construction techniques and with the benefit of thelatest protective finishes. Our fabricated products are additionallysupplemented with authentic cast iron posts. Throughout the whole of theformer Great Western Railway territory the familiar spear top fencing was acommon site. Now after a hundred or so years the original wrought ironworkis often life expired. Steelway now offer a replacement which considers theoriginal construction design and manufacturing limitations.

Steelway have produced a range of products which accurately reproducethe appearance of the original Victorian products but using modernconstruction techniques and with the benefit of modern protective finishes.Innovation is always a key part of our approach, we are often asked tosupply and install replica large yard gates, and these traditionallycomprise larger cast iron posts and substantial timber paled gates. As anoption we can provide these timber elements in steel which accuratelyreplicates all of the authentic timber details. The benefit is one ofmaintenance with the products being galvanized before finishing inauthentic colours using the polyester powder paint process.

Whilst we have a number of patterns to provide copies of historic lampposts, our range is constantly growing as clients diverse needs evolve tofruition. Similarly our schemes often include the lighting itself and as suchwe have produced patterns and tooling in order to accurately replicate avariety of lanterns with authenticity being a key principal.

Lamp Posts

� Lanterns are available to bepowered by electric or oil

� Produced using quality material and traditional techniques in order to accurately reproduce authentic solutions

� Number of ornate lamppostsavailable ranging from the highly ornate stubby lamppost which is made up of 17 individual castings to the 16’ yard type lamp post

Currently we produce 2 types of GWR benches, Edwardian and Art Deco, These are available in a variety of different lengths and in a variety ofauthentic colours. We have the capability of producing traditional railwaybenches of all constituent railway company origins.

REFURB AND REPLICATION

At a location in Buckinghamshire a client owned a listed corrugated pagodawhich was not only sadly neglected but additionally seriously distortedthrough fire damage! All wasted steelwork was either restored or recreatedwhilst the modern door was replaced completely with a faithful replica ofthe original long lost door leaf. The whole unit was authentically reclad with3" pitch iron suitably protected with a galvanized finish and finally polyester

At Birmingham’s listed Bordersly Viaduct the need arose to replace a lifeexpired bridge span. Network Rails requirements were to do so using aconcrete structure however this was not acceptable to the planningauthorities. Steelway consequently created a steel facia beamincorporating all appropriate authentic replica riveted detail to accuratelymimic an original structure. The 27m x 5.4m assembly was delivered tosite in a hot dipped galvanised form in preparation for a full specificationpainting process, in authentic colours and for installation by Steelway.

Birmingham - Moor Street StationSteelway’s involvement in the 2002 restoration of the Grade II listed MoorStreet Station in Birmingham was to be the beginning of the creating of newopportunities for both Steelway and for clients alike. With increasing demandfor refurbishment and in particular replica and restoration work across thenetwork we have the ability to replicate design concepts from drawings thatoften date back to the early Victorian age.

Clearly a proven track record in engineering was part of the clients belief inSteelway and backed up with Link-Up approval with proof were all importantparts of the equation. The client had great ambitions and wanted his derelictsite to win national accolades for the transformation that was to come. Therewould be no instances where inappropriate 'off the shelf' items would beacceptable and with the Steelway approach client’s satisfaction is paramount.Added to all of this we were aware of the real world where the need to workwithin budgets and also to a programme is essential.

The result was a national award winning restored and enhanced station fit forthe 21st century but with all the qualities of a bygone age. Our workcommenced on site almost a decade ago and our involvement in the ongoingdevelopment there continues to this day. In the intervening years ourreputation has grown and the scope of our own activities on other historic siteshave continued to trail blaze, resulting in many more award winning projectsthroughout the country.

Bath - CanopyAs part of a major retail scheme adjacent to Bath Spa’s historic railway station,Steelway were employed to recreate the long lost Porte Cochere which oncegraced the “down-side” station building. The challenge was to provide anauthentic solution as far as was possible. From a 1920’s photograph, togetherwith site evidence, and combined with our historic knowledge of designs of theperiod, we were able to determine the dimensions of its projection and recreatethe original appearance and details to a very exacting standard. The contractincluded the complete re-creation which took on board the replica rivetedstructure, patent glazing using glazing bars which emulated the 100 year olddesigns of Henry Hope & Sons together with all necessary timber and cast ironcomponents. The project received part grant funding from Railway Heritage Trust.

Minehead - Railway turntableOriginally measuring 55’0’’ its home was Pwllheli in North Wales. With thedemise of steam in the 1960’s the turntable became redundant but was offered apossible new lease of life when rescued by the then infant West Somerset Railway.The turntable is the first GWR railway turntable to be extensively rebuilt andadditionally is the only one to have been extended since the 1930’s from itsoriginal 55’0’’ to 65’0’’ using genuine GWR modification drawings. The railwayturntable which weighed in excess of fifty tonnes was transported in one pieceand craned into position by Steelway’s installation teams. The railway turntablenow forms the nucleus of a major visitor’s attraction based around West SomersetRailway Station in Minehead.
