Viaduct Progress

The viaduct project is now well under way. All of the concrete sections were cut down the middle.

Aligning the piers. A temporary pile of slabs was built to ensure that the correct gradient is maintained.

Everything needs to be checked for gradient, width and track alignment. A wooden frame was constructed to ensure correct spacing.

The structure was temporarily put together as a final check before concreting the piers in place.

A final alignment check.

Ready for concreting.

The viaduct sections were then removed and the centre of the piers shuttered before filling with concrete.
The piers shuttered and infilled with concrete.
