Bury & Whitefield Troughing and UTX Installation

In order to provide a suitable primary cable route for the proposed TMS signalling cables, Neary Rail were engaged by Metrolink RATP Dev Ltd, to extend, double and bypass sections of the existing lineside troughing route near to Bury and Whitefield stops to improve the capacity.
At Bury, 408m of new lightweight concrete troughing was installed along with a 2 track open cut UTX, 3 UTX chambers and a 10ft buried duct connection into the island platform.
At Whitefield, 672m of new lightweight concrete troughing was installed, along with 6 new chambers and associated lengths of buried duct, an 86m extension to the cable tray through the platforms and 4 hollow bearers, providing a cross track cable route.
