Severn Trent Water
Coalville Burst Water Main

Value £555,000
Trackside Embankment Deep Excavation
MPD has the enviable reputation of being the go-to railway civils contractor for providing workable solutions to the complex challenges faced by the industry.
We were called directly by Severn Trent emergency works division to resolve an issue that several previous contractors declined – a 12-inch water main buried within a steep embankment cutting had burst.
MPD provided and implemented the temporary works design, and carried out all excavation and reinstatement works. The project involved both road and rail closures, On Track Plant machinery, and hand excavation.
