| Vinci wins contract for the new London express rail link Vinci Construction Grands Projets and Bachy Soletanche Ltd (Vinci Construction), members of the BBMV consortium along with Alpine Beton und Monierbau, Balfour Beatty and Morgan Sindall, have won the €275 million contract (Vinci's share: 36.7%) to build the tunnels for the Liverpool Street and Whitechapel stations in London. The contract is part of the Crossrail project, which will provide an express rail link running east-west across London in 2018. It calls for the construction of the Liverpool Street and Whitechapel station tunnels and associated works. Each station has two platforms approximately 400 metres long, numerous cross-passages and underground branches connecting to the new Crossrail stations. The works represent a total of about 190,000 m³ of excavation and 60,000 m³ of concrete lining. They are scheduled to start in February 2011 and will take approximately five years to complete. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
