Manchester International Airport - Shotcrete works
The planned introduction of longer train services to the Airport in response to future demand growth will mean that double stacking arrangements of trains as currently used will no longer be viable.Through the project's Delivery Steering Group, Northern and TransPennine Express have carried out analysis which has identified that additional platform capacity is needed at the airport in order to realise the full benefit of longer train services serving the airport.
The scheme is part of a package of proposed measures in the Manchester area that are being designed/planned to boost capacity and resilience, emanating from the Cross Manchester Capacity and Reliability Improvement Study. Improving the operation of train services in the centre of Manchester and providing further capacity at Manchester Airport station, aligns with the strategic aims of Network Rail, TfGM, TfN and the wider industry. This project in in Tranche 1 of the Manchester and North West Transformation Programme (MNTP):
A remodelling of the station at Manchester Airport, specifically a platform addition or extension of multiple platforms, or provision of a new turnback facility, will be essential to accommodate the planned implementation of longer rolling stock services.
The redevelopment of these platforms will enable permissive working of two 6x24m (144m) trains, in two of the four platforms at the Airport Station. This will allow for the unaltered retention of all existing TOC services both originating and terminating at the Airport Station under 'double-stacking' conditions.
The scope areas for this package are as follows:
-Preparation and cleaning of exposed contiguous piled retaining wall faces.
-Supply and installation of mesh reinforcement, anchor bars and injection mortar.
-Supply, delivery, application, curing and finishing of sprayed concrete (shotcrete).
-Formation and sealing of expansion and construction joints.
-Protection of adjacent assets from rebound, overspray and damage.
-Testing, inspection, quality assurance and handover documentation.
-Removal and disposal of rebound material, washout and associated waste.
-Working within a live rail and airport environment in accordance with all project and Network Rail requirements.

Network Rail owns and runs Britain's rail infrastructure and is committed to providing a world-class network for train companies, freight operators and for passengers.
Network Rail maintains, manages and improves every aspect of the infrastructure. Successfully planning and delivering maintenance, enhancements and renewals works to the infrastructure is the key to running a safe, reliable and efficient railway, serving customers and communities.
Network Rail is seeking information from the market to support the next evolution of its Remote Condition Monitoring capability, currently known as RADAR. Remote Condition Monitoring is a strategic asset-management capability that enables Network Rail to monitor the health, condition and performance of railway assets remotely, supporting a shift from manual, inspection-led maintenance towards proactive, insight-led intervention. The current RADAR capability has evolved over more than 25 years and is business critical, but the wider estate includes legacy and alternative systems operating in parallel, creating complexity, cost, integration and resilience challenges. The future platform, referred to as RADAR 3, is intended to consolidate and modernise this capability, support national-scale asset condition monitoring, and provide a foundation that can scale into the future Great British Railways operating model.
This procurement will be undertaken as an open market exercise using the Competitive Flexible Procedure under the Procurement Act 2023 (PA23), with the objective of procuring an Examinations system application comprising licences, support, and minor configuration.
The purpose of this PME is to engage with the supply base and request information relating to platform, software and managed service capabilities available in the market for large-scale, enterprise Remote Condition Monitoring. Specifically, this RFI will look to address the following areas:
• Identify existing large-scale IoT, industrial data, asset condition monitoring and alarm management platforms available in the market
• Understand the functional and technical capabilities available for data ingestion, real-time historian services, alarm and alert management, asset configuration, visualisation, event replay, analytics, GIS/EAM integration and open API access
• Identify indicative commercial models, implementation approaches, operating models, support arrangements and cost drivers for candidate solutions
• Identify additional capabilities, delivery considerations, migration approaches and innovation opportunities that Network Rail may not yet have considered, including future Great British Railways interoperability requirements
Please note that any content received via response to this RFI will be used purely for information purposes only and will not be deemed as forming part of any proposed bid now, or any potential future tender.
