Sidetipper Wagon Modifications

Design, manufacture, fitment, approval and testing of a bespoke water-based dust suppression system to 100 Network Rail Sidetipper Wagons to reduce exposure to Respirable Crystalline Silica faced by the Employer’s employees, contractors and other personnel involved in aggregate handling activities. In conjunction with this, modification of the Sidetipper Wagons to protect against inadvertent toppling due to partial chute opening is required. Additionally, the installation of the ‘Mark 2’ Sidetipper Handbrake Interlock system to the ‘Mark 1’ fleet is required.
