Description

Medway Council is looking to seek tenders from suitably experienced contractors for a geotechnical investigation for the ground conditions relevant to the re-installing of a passenger service on the railway line between Hoo Junction and Grain, also known as the Grain Branch Line.
It is proposed that at specific locations the existing single-track line will be made into double track to create passing points. Furthermore, itis possible that an elevated section of track, Higham Curve, will be required where the Grain Branch Line curves to connect with Higham Station.
The investigation has been designed to determine the nature of the existing embankment material and to develop a ground model with associated geotechnical design parameters for the underlying strata. Some nominal contamination assessment is also undertaken.
