Lang+Fulton manufactured and supplied barrier fencing for the platforms, soffit panels for the access walkways, and security screens to protect the track and overhead lines at Network Rail's new station at Abbey Wood, which has been built over the railway tracks where the Elizabeth line terminates.

From above, the building is shaped like a manta ray, its ‘wings’ extending into canopies sheltering staircases either side which swoop down to platform level below.

Products supplied

Stretto-22 soffit panels

The soffit panels for the staircases and elevated walkways were made from Stretto-22 pressure-locked grating, customised to a bespoke 66 x 22mm aperture to provide an enhanced level of visual screening. Each panel was exactly contoured to match the demanding serpentine shape of the footbridge canopies.

Torino-22 barrier fencing

Barrier fencing was made for the platforms from Torino fence panels which were customised and engineered with a heavy intermediate framing bar at the loading point to comply with Network Rail’s specified requirement.

Torino-11 and Stretto-11 protective screens

Lang+Fulton also supplied a Torino-11 screen to protect the overhead lines and track from the threat of thrown objects.

An alternative access to the station was enclosed with a Stretto-11 anti-projectile screen.

DeltaBox-70 louvred screening

Storage areas beneath the stairs were secured with DeltaBox-70 louvred screening panels.
