In May 2016 Pod-Trak was awarded the contract to supply all labour, plant, materials, supervision and management to undertake the OLE removal works (enabling works) to remove head spans in 7no locations.
The scope included the careful removal of the existing equipment and retention of the OLE wires for reuse in the new works. The scope also included the installation of new OLE equipment (Furrer & Frey), line wires and retractable motors. The works included testing and commissioning of the new infrastructure. The delivery of the project was split in to 3 key stages to facilitate the depot remaining operational throughout, and to allow the steel work subcontractor to install the new steel support structures within the maintenance shed.
The project was successfully completed and handed back in 2017, on time and without incident.
