VJT Case Study - Network Rail Thameslink Project

Fixing Catenary to Masonry Lined Tunnels

• The traditional method, using M16 anchors in a slow curing mortar, was considered inefficient. The risk of ‘project overrun’ and the potential additional cost of line closure for extended line possession were of concern. A more efficient method was therefore required.
  
  

• VJT ‘value engineered’ a system that allowed the brackets to be fixed in less than 10 minutes; which compared to 1 hour using the original system.
  
  

• 600% more productivity.
  
  

• Reduced risk of ‘over run’ and associated line closure costs.
  
  

• Simple, consistent and, therefore, safer fixing system
  
  

• Extensive testing was undertaken to prove that the system had sufficient capacity and durability for the application
