Alstom & Arriva Trains: Double Sided Roof & Door Access Platform

Semmco worked with Alstom and Arriva TrainCare to develop a double sided roof and door access platform incorporating two off jib cranes. Alstom carries out maintenance work to replace doors and change the HVAC units for Arriva TrainCare. This is an ongoing maintenance requirement, and because of the complexities of the work, specific access, combined with lifting equipment needed to be installed in the Arriva Gateshead facility.
The project was made doubly difficult because of the age of the maintenance facility, its restricted height and curved roof. Alstom and Arriva worked together and appointed Semmco to design, manufacture and install a suitable solution.
