Rhinoceros complete the refurbishment of the retaining walls outside Archway Tube Station. A new capping was cast for the walls, spalled concrete and cracks were repaired using epoxy HB40 cement. All previous coatings and graffiti were removed and surfaces were pressure washed. A two pack epoxy primer Amerlock2/400 was first applied to all surfaces. This was followed by two coats of PPG's PSX700 a high performance polysiloxane coating with exceptional anti-graffiti properties. The colour is the same light blue used at the Imax and other recently re-furbished subways. The handrails were stripped and refinished in a light silver two pack polyurethane paint Amercoat 450S. This project is jointly funded by Transport for London and the London Borough of Islington. The work is part of TfL's major upgrade of underground stations on the oldest of London's Underground lines, the Northern Line.
