As part of the London to Corby upgrade project, Adey Steel provided over 4000 tonnes of OLE steelwork to SPL powerlines, who lead the electrification project. As the single supply source for main steel a collaborative approach with our client and NR over programme planning and logistics was vital in delivering the steel structures on time and within budget. A pioneering approach to cost control was to pre-roll all project raw material via British Steel so that steel price fluctuations were de-risked and a consistent supply of material from storage guaranteed lead times. The electrification enhancement as well as the increased track capacity and signalling rejuvenation will increase passenger capacity and reduce journey times from London St Pancras to Corby and Kettering.
