Crossrail, Plumstead to Paddington – £2.5m

Crossrail is building the Elizabeth line – a new railway for London and the South East, running from Reading and Heathrow in the west, through 42km of new tunnels under London to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east. The Crossrail project is Europe’s largest infrastructure project with a value of £15.4bn.

CA Drillers started works within the newly constructed tunnel in June 2016. Our initial scope was to complete some intricate cutting works within a cross passage and then complete with a concrete repair. Our works quickly escalated to drilling 1000’s holes for cable containment, fire mains and the emergency walkway system to track sawing 100’s of meters of reinforced concrete to the management and overseeing the installation of 955m2 of the screed. Over 50,000 manholes were completed on-site without a single incident or accident giving us one of the best health and safety records on the project.
