British construction services provider GRAHAM Construction has been appointed by Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) to refurbish Glasgow Ibrox station in Scotland.

---

As one of the three contractors to their £100 million ($160.71 million) Station Refurbishment Programme, GRAHAM Construction will refurbish the Ibrox station to create a clean, efficient and more modern, passenger-friendly environment at the stations.

The refurbishment aims at improving the customer experience by modernising the subway and creating a refreshing atmosphere by using public art.

The refurbishment work involves the replacement of materials to floors, walls and ceilings throughout the stations. Wayfinding, information and general signage for passengers will be improved by rationalising signing and branding, upgrading passenger facilities and equipment, increasing visibility, and using more efficient lighting.

The upgradation work also includes a wide range of DDA enhancements, and new station offices, making optimum use of space within the stations. Underutilised space will be used for potential retail facilities.

Work at Ibrox station is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2013.
