Lankelma has been working with Network Rail for part of the Cardiff area signal renewal works (time of writing Oct 2009). 
  
 
Monday - Thursday night shifts
 
A number of night shifts have already been completed with more in the pipe line; work for this area of signal renewal started in August 2009, with Monday – Thursday night shifts, in and around the Cardiff to Newport area and Caldicott. 
    
 
Road rail truck
 
We mobilised UK12,  the rail truck (above), to undertake the works in the four foot of the track. 
      
Due to the nature of the works, classified as a spiking test by network rail, the site team from NR pre-dug inspection pits in the ballast to check for any underground services which may have been installed under the line.
     
 
Excellent progress
  
To date, progress has been excellent, with 61 exploratory holes completed in 12 5hr night shifts. A further 12 night shifts are currently confirmed booking, with more dates being added.
