Midland Main Line (Electrification)

We've been supporting the Kettering-Corby phase of the Midland Main Line upgrade project听with our pre-rolled sections.

As part of a wide-scale project on the Midland Main Line railway line, steel fabricator听听was appointed the sole supplier for overhead line equipment (OLE).

We听manufactured and supplied Adey Steel with 2,700 tonnes of shot blasted and cut to length听sections听鈥� universal columns, parallel flange channels and angles for masts, booms and other OLE.

Logistics played a vital part in delivering the steel structures for the Kettering to Corby upgrade on time and within budget.

A pioneering approach to cost control was used, which involved us pre-rolling all project raw material, so that steel price fluctuations were de-risked and a consistent supply of material from storage could be guaranteed.听

鈥淥ur structural sections are produced right here in the UK. This provides great confidence in a product that has full traceability, is sustainably procured and is manufactured and tested to the highest standards,鈥� said Ben Cunliffe, Commercial Director, 91精品.

鈥淲e鈥檙e proud to be involved in British infrastructure projects that keep our country moving and on track.鈥�

The electrification enhancement, as well as the increased track capacity and signalling rejuvenation, has since increased passenger capacity and reduced journey times from London St Pancras to Corby and Kettering.
