Caunton are supplying and erecting the steelwork frame for a new train maintenance depot in Crawley, Sussex. They are working for main contractor Volker Fitzpatrick. The project is part of the Thameslink programme which will see capacity increased on north-south routes through central London between Bedford and Brighton, and routes to Peterborough and Cambridge via Finsbury Park.

In total the project will require nearly 800te of structural steelwork. Caunton are pleased to be working for Volker Fitzpatrick on yet another train care project – following on from their successful contracts with this major contractor at Hornsey, Reading and Southampton.
