Strada Contractors Limited have built up a wealth of experience within the Rail Industry over the years, and have become a major player as a painting contractor. Clients range from various main contractors to working direct for Network Rail and the Train Operating Companies as part of our Link Up qualification. Staff training and regular assessments have provided the company with a solid and highly professional workforce, which has become paramount with today's time constraints to complete projects.
Properties:
Strada Contractors Limited have carried out many station refurbishment contracts such as Lewes Station, Clapham Junction and Bournemouth Station to name just a few. These projects have incorporated redecoration works to the station buildings and platform canopies. Our commitment has also been with the Station Regeneration Projects where we are able to provide a rapid response to small projects.
Structures:
Completed structures range from bridges to signal gantries. Over the years, we have completed many bridges such as Shoreham Viaduct, Hungerford Bridge and various others across the country. Our site personnel are trained in all aspects of surface preparation from blast cleaning to ultra-high water jetting. With today's protective treatment market moving forward, we have stayed at the forefront with the paint manufacturers and can offer a wide range of alternative systems to suit the client's needs.
