Architecture and Building Surveying
Under Network Rails Station Regeneration Project, Robinson Kenning & Gallagher were instructed to develop an “Image Guide” by the Network Rail Regional Architect. The purpose of this document was to advise prospective D&B Tenderers in respect of preferred design requirements for future depot projects. These guidance notes highlighted the many issues to be addressed by Contractors entering into a D&B Contract - including site security, imagery for Depot sites, treatments for the external facades for the main Train Shed buildings plus advice on Network Rail’s maintenance access regime.
The SRP Project at Ramsgate Depot was the first Contract where these key Client’s requirements were successfully implemented introducing a more vibrant and interesting elevational treatment.
The brief required RKG to carry out surveys of the existing Depot Train Shed structures and to prepare alternative elevational designs for the clients comments and approval. The final elevational Designs were issued to prospective Contractors as part of the D&B Tender package.
