Platform Specification and Technical Capability
Key features and benefits of the Modular Platform System
by Corus include:
• Unique system adjustability – ensuring on-site buildability
and potential to respond to re-gauging.
• Lightweight structure – ensuring ease and speed of
installation and enabling cost-effective construction over
poor ground and tunnels.
• Designed for construction by a single-trade crew using
minimal mechanised plant – reducing timescales, costs
and safety risks and making the system ideal for use with
third rail or OLE lines and on sites with difficult access.
• Standardised, pre-finished components – minimising
installation time and providing built-in adaptability for future
growth and changes.
• Off-site design and manufacture – minimising track access
requirements and enabling accurate prediction of installation
costs and timescales.
• On-site health & safety benefits – The reduced time frame
on site, single trade platform assembly and majority green
zone work all contribute to a statistically safer and reduced
risk work environment.
Key design features of the Modular Platform System by
Corus include:
• Standardised hollow section components in galvanised
steel provide a column and beam structure to support the
platform deck.
• Cantilevered design ensures majority green zone installation.
• Telescopic platform feet and arms mean the system is
uniquely adjustable in all planes.
• Lightweight components reduce foundation impact and
avoid the need for costly and time-consuming ground
treatment measures. Each component requires only a one or
two person lift.
• Modular design enables a dry build using sustainable
construction techniques.
• High quality finish to all components contributes to system
robustness and longevity.

Loading
• BS 6399 Pt 1 1996
• 7.5kN/m2 distributed live loading
• 10kN point load applied over an area
of 200mm x 200mm
• 4.5kN point load applied over an area
of 50mm x 50mm
• If required different load capabilities
can be accommodated
Structure Self-Weight
• 315kg/m2 for a typical platform
permanently surfaced with flag paving
• 570kg loading per leg for a typical
platform permanently surfaced with
flag paving
• DETR Guidance on use of Tactile
Paving Surfaces
• ORR Meeting the needs of disabled
passengers
Adjustability
• Horizontal – standard reach of
+50mm / -170mm (range can be
increased if necessary, dependant
upon particular railway construction
safety constraints)
• Vertical – typical working range of
+50mm / -50mm
(potential for greater range of
movement if required)
