Second major rail project completed
December 2015

WRIGHTSTYLE, the UK steel and aluminium glazing company, has completed a second major upgrading project for Network Rail Wales, at Cardiff Central Station.

The completion follows a similar project at Cardiff Queen Street station, in a major programme that Network Rail describes as the largest-ever rail enhancement scheme in Wales.

The overall project, working with BAM Construction, is part of the Cardiff Station Enhancement Scheme, and which saw Wrightstyle supply some 300 square metres of Schueco FW60XR enhanced curtain wall system, along with doors, windows and automated sliding entrance doors.

Richard Panniers, project surveyor for Bam Construction said: “This has been a project of enormous complexity – not least to ensure that all aspects were completed to budget and on time, with both Cardiff Central and Queen Street stations remaining open during upgrading works.

“Wrightstyle had to work within those constraints, and the company’s glass and glazing components have helped transform both stations into modern and safe transport hubs,” he said.

Wrightstyle has worked with with Network Rail for on a number of stations, most notably for the refurbishment of London’s King’s Cross.
