On-call Railway Steel Repairs
Our on-call capabilities are demonstrated by a busy weekend in November 2012, starting with a call late on Friday. Maintenance work to replace rails on a railway bridge in Battersea had revealed unexpected damage to the steel bridge floor plates.
BS Steels deployed labour to the site within 2 hours, together with plant and equipment. On Saturday we were asked to provide steel plates which were delivered on Sunday. Further steel plates requested on Sunday night were delivered on Monday morning. We were also asked to replace all the rusted connections. After inspection of the existing connections, our design and drawing department interpreted requirements, our workshop engineered the new components, which were delivered to site, all within hours.
The weekend’s activity was entirely unplanned, but our response ensured that the additional delay caused by the unexpected discovery of damaged floor plates was kept as short as possible.
