Joseph Gallagher were contracted by BAM Nuttal to work on the Haywards Heath Drainage Phase 3 Scheme for Network Rail. This is part of the Brighton mainline improvements scheme to increase reliability and maintain a consistent service on the new Thameslink franchise.
The project was to complete shafts and microtunnelling, as part of the new drainage infrastructure. Shafts diameters were 3.66m and 3.06m, with deepest being 10m below ground.
All works were undertaken within a nature reserve meaning precautions were put in place to protect the environment as much as possible.
