    Brief

    Wigan Council is seeking tier 1 Network Rail contractors to renew the Boars Head Footbridge, a three-span steel footbridge running parallel to the A5106 Chorley Road over the West Coast Mainline railway in Wigan. The project involves complete removal of the existing steel footbridge structure and supports, refurbishment of foundations and banking seats within the Network Rail boundary, and installation of a new steel footbridge with supporting trestles. Works include traffic management, obtaining necessary permits and railway possessions, removing and protecting existing services, extending seat structures, installing new bearing plates and drainage infrastructure (ACO type drain at the West end), and making good all affected surfaces and approaches. The contractor must provide all transport, tools, access equipment, welfare facilities, and site clearance. Full risk and method statements (RAMS) are required before work commences. The project will be managed under CDM 2015 regulations. This is a significant infrastructure contract suitable for experienced contractors with Network Rail experience and capability to work on railway-adjacent projects.
