Challenge
Surrey Quays Station required a significant upgrade to create a fully accessible environment while remaining operational throughout the works. The constrained site presented complex logistical challenges, with construction activity having to be carefully planned around passengers, station operations and existing infrastructure. The project included a new station entrance, improved step-free access and a new overbridge, requiring close coordination to maintain safe access and minimise disruption while delivering substantial improvements within a live railway environment.
Solution
G&T provided Project Management services, bringing Network Rail expertise to the Transport for London team and supporting the project through design, engineering and delivery. Our role focused on coordinating the different workstreams, managing the programme and maintaining strong stakeholder engagement throughout. This helped ensure that design and construction decisions reflected both the technical requirements of the railway and the operational constraints of the station, while keeping the upgrade progressing within a highly constrained and complex working environment.
Outcome
The upgraded Surrey Quays Station has successfully opened, providing passengers with a new entrance, improved accessibility and a new overbridge. The works have created a more inclusive and easier-to-navigate station while maintaining operations throughout the project. G&T’s Project Management support helped coordinate delivery across the live railway environment and maintain engagement with key stakeholders, contributing to the successful opening of the improved station.
