CPC were awarded this phase following on from METRO diversions phases 1 and 2 to allow the tram network in Birmingham to continue to be upgraded and extended
Construction work were carried out during 2017.
The works were a substantial diversion of the existing 22” and 17” cast iron mains that run the full length (approx. 800m) of Broad St in Birmingham.
This street is well known for the night life of the City and the new tram line will run straight down the centre of it. Because of the size of the existing mains and the location of other utilities, it was not possible to relay these mains outside the proposed track line in Broad Street. The solution was to relay a twin 600mm and 450mm Ductile iron main off line and around busy side streets for 1.2km and abandon the existing main in its entirety.
The sizes of these mains and the trench needed to lay them in itself posed some difficulties, all of which have been overcome with careful planning, good route proving and again close liaison with some key stakeholders when crossing their access roads such as The Hyatt Hotel, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Fiveways Property Management.
