Overview
FP McCann offers a range of modular precast concrete solutions for railway platform construction, emphasizing speed, flexibility, and reduced onsite labor. Their systems are designed to accommodate various platform configurations, including large width, curved, and island platforms.

Hollowcore Planks
These are prestressed concrete planks designed to reduce weight and are available in standard widths of 1200mm or 600mm. They can span up to 7500mm, depending on depth.

Cantilever Beams
Designed to allow overhang from the masonry wall, these beams ensure maximum green zone working during construction. They are typically 440x210x3000mm but can vary in length.

Platform Construction
Advantages include reduced track possession time and flexibility in catering to different platform widths. Disadvantages involve difficulty in accommodating vertical and horizontal curvature and increased loads post-construction.

Crosswalls
These reduce the need for wet trades onsite and replace traditional masonry crosswalls. They are typically 440x1000x3000mm but can be customized.

Modular Precast Platforms
FP McCann's modular platforms are adaptable for most projects, offering a full design service. They can be delivered with finished surfaces and factory-fitted components like tactile paving.

Semi-Modular Systems
These systems reduce the need for hollowcore planks, providing a level surface without levelling screed. They offer greater coverage per unit and are more economical.

Table and Kicker Units
Suitable for platforms with consistent width and minimal curvature, these units can be used in impact and non-impact scenarios.

Installation and Quality Assurance
FP McCann's products are manufactured to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards. Platform sections can be lifted into place using cranes or specialized vehicles, and complementary products like copings and drainage are available.
