VolkerFitzpatrick to help deliver major rail improvements during Charing Cross blockade

Once complete, new steelwork, drainage systems, cable management routes, GRP beams, deck panels and coping stones will be installed, creating modernised platforms that will improve resilience, accessibility and the passenger experience for years to come.

In addition to the platform works, VolkerFitzpatrick will deliver grit blasting and repainting works to Hungerford Bridge, alongside a programme of refurbishment works at Waterloo East station, helping to enhance the long-term performance and appearance of critical railway infrastructure.

The wider blockade includes a substantial package of track works being delivered by VolkerRail, including plain line track renewal, a switch and crossing renewal, replacement of point ends and associated engineering works.

The project demonstrates the strength of Southern Renewals Enterprise's integrated delivery model to safely deliver complex renewals and upgrades at scale.
