Transforming Darlington Station: A Triumph of Advanced LIDAR Scanning

Celebrating Tricore’s Role in Revolutionising Infrastructure with LNER

At Tricore Technical Services, we are committed to deploying cutting-edge technology to achieve unparalleled excellence. Our recent collaboration with London North Eastern Railway (LNER) on the transformation of Darlington Station exemplifies this dedication. This ambitious project, backed by a £140 million investment, is set to redefine the future of transportation infrastructure in the region.

The Power of  LIDAR Scanning Technology

Tricore supported the Darlington Station redevelopment with our state-of-the-art LIDAR scanning technology. Led by our Digital Operations Manager, Emma Bass, our team meticulously scanned significant points of the station. This phase captured millions of data points, providing highly accurate and detailed mapping and modelling of both existing structures and new constructions. The precision of LIDAR scanning ensures meticulous data, which is crucial for the precise planning and execution of this large-scale project.

From Scanning to Processing: Delivering an Immersive Virtual Tour

Following the scanning phase, our modelling department took over to process the collected data. Utilising advanced processing techniques, the team transformed the raw data into a comprehensive virtual tour. This immersive model offers stakeholders and the public a detailed preview of the station’s future layout and facilities, fostering transparency and engagement. The ability to visualise the project in such detail enhances communication, planning, and overall project execution.

Collaborative Efforts and Strategic Partnerships

This landmark project is a testament to collaborative efforts involving the Tees Valley Mayor and Combined Authority, Network Rail, and Darlington Borough Council. The virtual tour, commissioned by LNER, demonstrates how our technology supports complex, large-scale projects by providing detailed visualisations required for effective planning and execution.

Future Outlook: Pioneering Infrastructure Innovation

At Tricore Technical Services, we are dedicated to pioneering the use of advanced technology to transform infrastructure projects. Our involvement in the Darlington Station project underscores our technical expertise and our commitment to driving progress through innovative solutions. As we continue to expand our capabilities, we remain focused on delivering excellence and setting new benchmarks in the industry.
