Stoke Signalling Control Centre – Modular Building Demolition & Reinstatement

Date: January 2026

Modular building demolition delivered at Stoke Signalling Control Centre (SCC) for Network Rail’s North West & Central Region.

Due to the deteriorated condition of the existing modular units, lifting and removing them intact was not a viable option. A controlled in-situ demolition methodology was developed and implemented to safely dismantle the structures and fully reinstate the footprint.

Delivered under our Network Rail Framework Agreement, the works were completed safely, efficiently and in full compliance within a rail adjacent environment.

Executive Summary

  • Controlled in-situ demolition of modular buildings at Stoke SCC
  • Delivery under the Network Rail Framework Agreement
  • Full isolation of services prior to works commencing
  • Segregation and responsible disposal of materials in line with our Zero to Landfill commitment
  • Installation of new kerb lines
  • Reinstatement of the footprint with Type 1 MOT

The Challenge

The condition of the modular buildings meant craned removal was not feasible. This required a revised approach to ensure safe dismantling without compromising surrounding infrastructure.

Key considerations included:

  • Safe isolation and verification of existing services
  • Controlled demolition within a critical operational rail asset
  • Environmental compliance and responsible waste handling
  • Full reinstatement of the area following removal

The works required careful planning, sequencing and coordination to maintain safety and operational continuity throughout the programme.

The Solution

Swallow Site Services implemented a structured demolition and reinstatement strategy, including:

  • Isolation and confirmation of all services
  • Controlled, phased in-situ demolition of modular structures
  • Segregation and removal of materials from site
  • Responsible disposal aligned with our Zero to Landfill commitment
  • Installation of new kerb lines
  • Reinstatement of the footprint using Type 1 MOT to provide a stable, level surface

All works were delivered in accordance with Network Rail standards, site-specific requirements and framework procedures.
