MLM were commissioned to undertake a Grip Stage 2 pre-feasibility inspection and report on drainage issues associated with approx. 800m of track at Colchester Town Station, including carrying out an Ecology Assessment.
The main drainage problem was uncontrolled surface water run-off from various areas of adjacent land that was feeding into the track drainage system, resulting in waterlogged track beds and standing water. The track alignment was poor and some settlements were found adjacent to an under-bridge. The report MLM produced set out broad options for further investigations and lines of enquiry at Grip Stage 3 to resolve these matters.
