PNEUMATIC DELIVERY FOR INFILL UNDER A RAIL STATION IN GLASGOW

LECA® LWA was installed for an infill under a rail station in Glasgow, near the Ibrox Stadium. This bridge infill project required 1000m3 of LECA® LWA to be installed. This project required going deep into an underground chasm beneath an old station and to fully utilise the pneumatic delivery method which is a unique facility to LECA® LWA – the ability to reach install at a distance of 50m and at a rapid rate was crucial with limited access and tight deadlines.
The LECA® LWA was delivered directly into Clydeport, Glasgow and was stockpiled specifically for many structural engineering projects in Scotland.
