Extensive bridge improvement work to start in Dinsdale

Work that will ultimately allow larger freight containers from Teesport to be transported by rail rather than road has started on a bridge in Dinsdale, as a part of a £4.7m investment in the rail line between Teesport and the East Coast Main Line.

According to a news report in the local media on this issue, engineers have been on site in Dinsdale since the end of August setting up the site compound and a four month road closure begins on 27 September.

Mark Tarry, area director for Network Rail, said: "The ability to transport freight by rail is essential to our economy. Each freight train we can run on our network takes around 50 lorries off our roads.

"However, because much of the freight is in large, square containers, we need to make alterations to the network to make sure the containers can fit. We always seek to minimise the disruption caused by this work and work closely with local highways authorities to meticulously plan any work which affects rights of way."

Naturally, a development of this size will also involve a large number of contractors and employees, and this is specifically where Time & Attendance – North East might be able to put its extensive experience to very good use, as far as implementing a solid, reliable and flexible workforce optimization system is concerned.
