Lafarge to reconnect sidings to North Kent mainline

UK: Lafarge Cement's vision for the future is starting to take shape at the company's former cement works at Northfleet in Kent, UK, where it is conducting a major investment to reconnect rail freight facilities to the main north Kent line. Lafarge expects the rail sidings to be operational by mid February 2012.

The first main user of the restored line will be the cross-London rail project, Crossrail, which will transport excavated material from a tunnel bore near Paddington, London by train to Northfleet for onward transportation by ship.

Balfour Beatty Rail is carrying out all the design and construction of the new sidings and connection to the main line, whilst Chunnel Group has carried out the siding preparation works within the main site. The overall length of the rail link is around 2.25km and in total 4.75km of new track will be provided.

The 104-acre site is undergoing redevelopment by Lafarge in association with the Councils of Kent and Gravesham. The linkage of the site to the main line represents another important step in the regeneration of Northfleet embankment.
