Portsmouth & Southsea Platforms Case Study

As part of the Portsmouth Area Infrastructure Upgrade Project a platform re-alignment and extension was needed on platform 4 at Southsea Station.

The re-alignment works over 145 metres involved the de-construction of the platform front wall to facilitate construction of a new front wall along the new alignment. At the same time the platform was extended by 75 metres.

The platform works at Portsmouth and Southsea were undertaken during a five day blockade over the Christmas holidays. The construction type used was a solid fill platform. Works were carried out concurrently with a re-alignment of the adjacent permanent way.

This project had very tight timescales. BCM Construction were only given five weeks to design and mobilise for the Christmas blockade. The project was a resounding success and delivered safely, on time and within budget.

Works included:

  • Project Management
  • Platform Design
  • Platform Construction
  • Design & Installation of M&E Systems (lighting and public address)
