Barking Riverside Station
- 4.5km Extension
- London Overground
- London, UK
The construction of a new 4.5km extension to the London Overground route on the Gospel Oak to Barking line for Transport for London to serve a major new housing development. The new Barking Riverside station now connects passengers to central London in as little as 22 minutes and to Barking in 7 minutes.
Project Overview
The full project scope provides a new strategic rail connection in East London and included the modification of the existing railway lines from Barking station over a stretch of 3km with a new 1.5km railway viaduct extension from Renwick Road overbridge to a new terminus. This involved constructing an embankment ramp up to the new concrete viaduct supporting a two-track railway extension into the heart of a new residential development at Barking Riverside.
Scope Overview
We delivered the track and viaduct drainage infrastructure to support the Barking Riverside extension, including drainage networks, attenuation systems, under-track crossings (UTXs) and connections to existing drainage assets.
Working within planned rail possessions and line blockages, our scope included the installation of approximately 700m of track drainage, 1,550m of viaduct drainage, 2,000m of cast iron downpipes and three storm attenuation tanks.
A key element of the works was the installation of a 50m-long, 450mm diameter stormwater crossing beneath four operational railway lines to facilitate the new track alignment and station infrastructure.
