Deighton Station Arch Infill and Abutment Strengthening

GS Foam Concrete were appointed by Pioneer Civils to deliver arch infill and abutment strengthening works at Deighton Station, Huddersfield, as part of the TransPennine Route Upgrade (TRU). The station is undergoing major modernisation to improve capacity, accessibility, and readiness for future electrification, with reopening scheduled for 2027.
The works formed a critical element of wider infrastructure improvements, enabling future track realignment from two to four tracks and supporting enhanced network performance. GS Foam Concrete completed the abutment strengthening in two pours, followed by seven controlled pours to fully infill the arch, placing a total of 293m³ of P1150 lightweight foam concrete.

More about P1150

P1150 was selected for its high flowability, lightweight properties, and long-term stability, allowing effective placement within confined arch geometry without vibration while minimising additional load on existing structures. Continuous pumping ensured complete void filling and consistent placement throughout.
The mix design incorporated approximately 60% GGBS, achieving an estimated 50–60% reduction in embodied carbon compared to traditional CEM I concrete. Across the full volume, this equated to a saving of over 100 tonnes of CO₂e, aligning with PAS 2080 principles, Network Rail sustainability objectives, and TRU decarbonisation targets.
