Gogar Tram Depot

Edinburgh

Gogar Tram Depot houses main workshop areas, an internal tram wash area, maintenance pits for tram maintenance as well as stabling areas where the trams are due to be located overnight.

After consultation with Ronacrete’s technical department, Parsons Brinckerhoff specified RonaFloor HB100, a solvent-free epoxy resin coating with additional anti-slip aggregate.
