Costain – Paddington New Yard on behalf of Crossrail – £500k

We started working on this site for Costain on behalf of Crossrail in August 2014 and completed our works in November 2018. Paddington New Yard, located between the Westbourne Park Tube station and Paddington National Rail station, contains both the Royal Oak Portal and Westbourne Park Crossrail worksites.

The contract included the construction of a new 180m long elevated bus deck which connected Westbourne Park Bus Garage, the relocation of an existing concrete batching plant, and preparatory works for the installation of new rail track and associated systems for Crossrail in Paddington New Yard. Due to the majority of the site running over the Crossrail tunnel, heavy breaking was not allowed due to vibration concerns. A large amount of concrete required removing which was completed using diamond floor sawing, diamond track sawing and hydraulic bursting techniques. Works were completed on time and on budget.
