Octavius Regional Civil Engineering (ORCE) has commenced it first project under the Generation 5 (Gen5) Civil Engineering, Highways and Transportation Collaborative Framework at Aldershot Station, Hampshire.
The works include realignment of the carriageways and footways on Station Road and Arthur Street to improve access to the railway station. Repaving of the station forecourt to create a larger pedestrianised area, a cycle way, pedestrian crossings and footways.
Damian Owen, Contract Manager Capital Works at ORCE commented “The works will include site clearance, carriageway resurfacing, footway construction, repaving, drainage works, street lighting, road markings and traffic signs.
We have carefully planned our activities to minimise disruption to railway passengers, residents, businesses, pedestrians and road users. Our methodology will ensure we maintain safe pedestrian and cycle access to the station and that there is minimal impact on station parking. We will be providing access to the taxi rank and drop off bays and ensure the bus stop on Victoria Road remains in service.”
