WM Plant Hire successfully completed the demolition of platforms 1 and 2 at Berrylands Railway Station for repeat clients VolkerFitzpatrick, finishing ahead of programme during night-time possessions.
Our rapid mobilisation of two 20m long-reach excavators equipped with pulverisers, shears and selector grabs—supported by lineside burning gear—showcased our unmatched logistics expertise. Despite challenging access constraints, our specialist team seamlessly coordinated with site teams to deliver the machines for non-disruptive works across the 160m platform length.
The project team received outstanding feedback from Network Rail, reinforcing WM Plant Hire's position as the UK's leading specialist in long reach solutions to support rail infrastructure upgrades.
