Annual Report 2016
Pipe Jacking at Acton Town Station
OnSite was asked to carry out
remedial repairs to a brick
drainage culvert at Acton
Town Station platform.
Due to the size of the deformation,
Cured-In-Place Pipe lining was not
considered suitable. Since the Heathrow
Rail Line station is extremely busy, and
due to the extremely tight timescales to
complete the works, excavation was not
an option.
Looking to the future
SSI Services is in a strong position
to continue to grow its revenue and
enhance underlying profitability
due to the strategic decisions
that have been taken throughout
the year and in this new financial
year. The customer base has been
expanded with new disciplines
being offered across a number
of industry sectors which, in
turn, will provide a more stable
revenue stream so as to achieve
the planned growth without
compromising safety, quality and
client satisfaction.
OnSite’s Head of Rail Services attended
site and established that the no-dig
structural lining solution, known as
Pipe Jacking, would be the most viable
solution and this option was presented
to the client. Following works approval,
OnSite were officially engaged to
provide the Pipe Jacking solution to the
failing drainage beneath the station.
The works were completed safely and
efficiently and therefore the PiccadillyHeathrow line was closed for only 24
hours.
“The Pipeline Services, OSM and
Perco businesses have now been
integrated into OnSite.”
