Thanks folks for your comments.

We will need to put in a closure rail when we do the last section. We have decided to abandon the continuous welded. To start with it is being plated in 240' lengths and allowed to settle. Then we will cut it into 120' sections.

The cost of maintaining and restressing CWR is proving too high. Cost to do the job we are doing is £3,500. Cost of totally restoring CWR and restressing £10,000 plus and then ongoing maintenance. We have the labour, see photos, but not the money!

Best wishes,

John H-T.
