Projects Though it has effectively delivered numerous smaller systems , Charcon ’ s high-profile projects include works at the Olympic Park for the 2012 Games , where it provided precast concrete for seating and stairs at the Velodrome .
Another £ 600,000 project at Gravesend Station during Christmas last year showcased perfectly the company ’ s ability to work in tough conditions and the suitability of precast solutions for quick turnaround times . Over 72 cold and windy hours , three crews installed a complete precast concrete platform , allowing the station to quickly return to full operation .
Charcon ’ s expertise in designing , planning and installing specialist precast were tested to their limit to guarantee the platform was installed as-designed on-schedule , with the crews working back-to-back 24 hours a day . That the project was delivered so quickly is testament to the months of careful planning and offsite installation which proceeded it ; an approach that typifies the company ’ s attention to detail .
