Brockley Whins Embankment Stabilisation

A complex emergency embankment stabilisation scheme at Brockley Whins Station comprising a 15,000 tonne berm and a 13m long 9m span Multiplate Arch culvert extension.

Located 300 metres west of Brockley Whins Metro Station on the Longlands, Eaglescliffe and Newcastle Line (LEN3), a 20 metre high embankment carries Metro and Network Rail passenger and freight services between South Hylton & Newcastle Airport. At the centre of the site a twin bore masonry arch culvert (Bridge 282), carries the River Don beneath the embankment flowing northwards.

The track layout comprises of two tracks, the Up and Down lines, and due to deterioration in the track quality, a temporary speed restriction of 20mph has been imposed. The site has a long history of movement requiring various interventions over the years, including a concrete block retaining wall, sheet piles, soil nails, grouting and construction of a berm. All previous interventions had varying levels of success, but ultimately failed to halt ground movements…
