  • Prefabricated unit for refurbishment or construction of platforms
    Publication number: 20040231286
    Abstract: A prefabricated platform unit (1), for construction or refurbishment of a railway station platform, has a stepped upper surface (4) with a recessed planar forward portion (4a) on which edge copers (23) are to be mounted. Refurbishment of an exiting platform may be performed by excavating a region (22) of the platform surface to the front edge, installing a prefabricated platform unit (1) in the excavated region, and installing edge copers (23). Construction of a new platform may include the steps of constructing foundations alongside the railway, constructing upstanding supporting members on the foundations, and mounting a superstructure including the prefabricated platform units on the supporting members.
