Project Update: Garage equipment installation for National Express bus & coach workshop in Birmingham progressing
Having started work on site in the spring, CCS Garage Equipment’s state-of-the-art bus and coach workshop facility for National Express in Perry Barr, Birmingham is progressing well and approaching completion.
Recent site images show the building’s completed structure and facade, and groundworks both internally and externally taking shape. This site comprises 4 large workshops in total, each equipped with the latest in garage equipment including lifts, inspection pits and complete workshop servicing.
Internally, flooring and roller shutter doors are now in place, together with garage equipment installation by CCS including:

Completed internal flooring prior to garage equipment installation
Installation underway of commercial vehicle, steel fabricated inspection pits and commercial brake testers, bespoke-built for National Express
Installation of lubrication and LEV equipment in place at National Express, Birmingham’s new commercial vehicle workshop
Compressed air systems ready for installation within the new National Express, Birmingham commercial vehicle workshop
As part of our workshop installation design scheme, and comprised within our LEV extraction system, CCS created 2 bespoke fume extraction points to enable in-house vehicle DPF regeneration.
Initiating the regneration process cleans the DPF, keeping National Express’ vehicles running and in good condition. This process requires vehicles to be run at heavy load within the workshop, generating heat for a sufficient length of time to burn off particulates deposited inside the filter. Our bespoke LEV system incorporates hoses and fans which can handle the high fume volumes and demands created by the regeneration process.
CCS’ garage equipment installation for National Express includes a leading oil monitoring system which will benefit the client’s operations and improve the management of oil on each job.

Oil monitoring and management systems help the workshop team to control the use of oil, keeping track of fluid which is dispensed to prevent unauthorised use, wastage and reduce costly errors. The technology is integrated with the workshop’s management system, enabling specific allocations to be given on each job, creating accurate usage records and to monitor stock levels.
National Express will benefit from more efficient and more accurate fluid management, together with reduced wastage and misuse.
