Project Details
Her Majesty the Queen officially opened the New Borders Railway Line in September 2015 — marking the completion of a £294 Million Contract to construct 30 miles of track and 7 new stations. During the construction of the project, Winn and Coales (Denso) Ltd supplied Farrans Construction with Denso™ Tape to protect the pipework for new water diversions and also supplied Advance Construction (through stockist SIG) with Densoband™ to provide a flexible watertight seal between the asphalt and the tactile paving slabs on the platforms at 4 of the new stations.
Densoband is a preformed sealing strip and can also be used for sealing joints between asphalt to asphalt, concrete and road castings in road construction, bridge expansion joints and on airport runway joints.
