RAIL safety equipment specialist Zonegreen has been awarded a contract to maintain the depot personnel protection system (DPPS) at Northern’s Hull Botanic Gardens depot.
The deal is the 50th maintenance agreement secured by the Sheffieldbased company for aUK depot. It will perform inspections twice a year to ensure the equipment is in good working order.
DPPS (which protects staff by using Network Rail-approved derailers to create safe zones in which they can work) was installed in the two-road shed at the site as part of a multi-million-pound project to modernise and increase maintenance and servicing capacity which was completed last year.
