We have installed an XR for hire in Grange Quarry at Dumfries for an urgent supply of rock armour to Network Rail
The destination is Lamington viaduct near Lockerbie where recent flash floods have washed away bridge supports and closed West Coast Mainline The armour will be used to stabilise the supports while permanent repairs are carried out The ripper was installed on Cat 336E direct mount The fractured calcium limestone is lying in horizontal beds but is too shallow to blast and too hard to rip with mechanical ripper or bucket – the ideal rock size is 1 to 3 tonnes Operations Director Robbie Dodd ‘We are pleased with the ripper – it has allowed us to maximise our production of rock armour which we were not able to do with conventional methods’
