Project Overview:
TNS were appointed to deliver the installation of stainless steel water bottle filling stations across MTR’s multiple high-profile stations, including Goodmayes, Manor Park, Forest Gate, Hayes & Harlington, West Drayton, Langley, Stratford, Southall, Abbey Wood, Ilford, Ealing Broadway, and Romford. This programme supported MTR’s sustainability commitments and customer experience improvements across their managed estate.
Scope of Works:
- Supply and installation of stainless steel branded water bottle filling stations
- Cold water and foul water pipework, including chlorination, pressure testing, and bacterial analysis
- Installation of new electrical circuits, containment systems, and terminations with NICEIC certification issued
- Careful survey and design of all cable and pipework routes, with bespoke proposals to suit station-specific constraints, including heritage considerations at key sites
- Coordination with other contractors and station teams to integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure
Project Highlights:
- Works completed within fully operational train stations, all high-footfall environments requiring careful phasing and safety planning
- Complex environments such as Stratford and Ealing Broadway required bespoke routing and installation methods to avoid disruption to station operations
- Installations carried out during normal working and off-peak hours to ensure zero impact on passengers and station functionality
- Stainless steel filling stations provide robust, hygienic, and low-maintenance solutions designed for long-term public use
Benefits to the Client and Public:
The new refill stations offer passengers convenient access to free drinking water, directly supporting MTR’s objectives to reduce single-use plastics and promote sustainability. Positioned in key public areas, the stations improve passenger wellbeing while contributing to environmental targets, with durable installations ensuring longevity in demanding station environments.
