DERBY STATION

• The platform modification works were delivered within an exceptionally demanding 28 day blockade, requiring the full demolition and reconstruction of major sections of platforms. MPB mobilised a 60 strong in-house team, operating continuously around the clock, in shift patterns, to meet the immovable hand back deadline, completing all works safely, efficiently, and on programme.
• A further challenge was the installation of a 500m drainage run up to 5.5m deep, complete with an oil interceptor and outfall into the River Derwent. This required working ALO, constructing a sheet piled cofferdam, installing a PCC headwall, and managing complex environmental and operational constraints with precision.
• Project highlights included contributing to the £200m Derby Area Remodelling Project through the construction of a 340m island platform, the installation of 700+ precast riser units, and successful delivery within a 600-hour blockade.

Together, all these achievements highlight MPB’s ability to deliver complex, time critical rail infrastructure with certainty, quality, and complete reliability.
