Brief Case Study;-

In February 2012 Churchill were employed to remove 2no 50m redundant lighting towers located at the Hornsey railway sidings in North London without the use of mobile cranes, with no disruption to rail services both towers were safely removed within budget and programme. 

The success of this project resulted in the company being encouraged by Network Rail and the contract sponsor to obtain Link Up accreditation to increase our exposure in the rail sector, we are now pleased to announce accreditation to Link Up for the following product codes;-
