Standing Building Recording (2009)
A photographic building survey was carried out on a series of overbridges that were subject to demolition or alteration as part of the Airdrie to Bathgate Railway and Linked Improvement works. The report on this work is based on photographs, plans and elevation drawings sent to CFA by Network Rail. The redevelopment work took place on a live railway and as a result CFA staff were not permitted to carry out the photographic survey.
