Overview
Newton-Le-Willows station near Warrington was built in 1845 and is undergoing an £18m revamp. A subway is also being dug to link the station to the platform on the other side of the tracks.
The team is mining underneath the tracks to create the subway, while trains continue to rattle above them. The line has been kept fully operational while works are ongoing and has required the team to do some complex engineering in order to ensure no damage is done to the historic route or the original listed ticket office.

The Solution
Diaquip wire was used to form section cuts to Steel Grout Filled Piles that have been used to form the canopy of the tunnel 600mm g tubes x 750mm long sections, weighing approx. 500 Kg each 26 either side so 52 Nr. The Piles were installed horizontally under the line to act as temp works/support to the formation of the tunnel.
