Graham Construction has been appointed by Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) as one of three contractors to their £100 million Station Refurbishment Programme.

The first project Graham Construction will tackle on the 15 station network is the refurbishment of the Ibrox Station.

The aim of this refurbishment work is to help create a clean, efficient, and more modern, passenger friendly environment at stations, improving the customer experience for those using the subway, and where feasible to incorporate the use of public art.


The work involves 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. Works will also include a wide range of DDA enhancements, and new station offices, making optimum use of space within the stations. Ibrox will additionally develop underutilised space for potential retail facilities.

Work at Ibrox which is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2013 will be managed and integrated with the ticketing system installation, as this will take place at all stations throughout 2013. The Framework will be in place for the remainder of the stations which is expected to run until 2018/2019.
