Dyer & Butler Completes Installation of Cobham Footbridge
17th March 2020
Dyer & Butler, a multi-disciplined engineering services specialist focused on essential infrastructure including airports, railways and highways, and part of M Group Services, has completed the replacement and installation of a new footbridge spanning two electrified (third rail) running lines at Cobham.
The installation of the new footbridge, located between Sole Street Station and Rochester Station on the Victoria to Ramsgate line, was delivered by the Dyer & Butler rail division’s Sussex team and forms. The project forms part of the CP6 structures package across the Southern Region being undertaken on behalf of Network Rail.
A section of the former footbridge has been relocated to a Dyer & Butler maintenance yard and will be used to train Dyer & Butler teams on refurbishment methods and structural interventions, using modern materials to extend the life of historic infrastructure.
