Reston Cutting

Brighton

Balcombe

Reston Cutting is located on the East Coast Mainline. The rock bolts formed part of a cutting stabilisation scheme which involved installing some 4250m2 of chainlink rock fall mesh. Approximately 150 no. 3 metre crest rock bolts were installed in 1 metre lengths using couplings. The top detail comprised an integral 30kN eyebolt which allowed 3-way connection for cable stays supporting the rock netting. Ichebeck Titan 30/11 black rock bolts were installed by hand into rock.
