LOW ELLERS VIADUCT PROJECT
Dodd Engineering (North West) limited has recently
completed a major contract for Norwest Holst Limited who were
major contractors to Network Rail.
The contract specification included structural steel repairs
and the replacement of handrails for a site located at Ellers
Road Doncaster West Yorkshire.
The repairs and installation were part of Bridge 55 which
has a thirteen span viaduct over the East Coast Main Line. Also
Bridge 54 with a three span viaduct over the Doncaster Lincoln
Main Line.
Dodd Engineering working closely with Norwest Holst designers
manufactured new handrail stanchions, and infill panels to replace
the badly corroded lattice type handrail.
New repair plates were manufactured for cross beams and rail
bearers.
The bridges are located in a nature reserve and as such the
installation had to ensure that there was no significant environmental
impact on the surrounding area which would affect the flora and
fauna.
