Crossrail Appointment 29 May 2009 Crossrail appoints Arup/Atkins team to design Central London twin bore tunnels Crossrail Ltd (CRL) has confirmed the appointment of an Arup/Atkins team to undertake one of the largest and most important elements of the Crossrail project - the detailed design of the major twin tunnels to be bored beneath Central London. In all there will be 46 km of 6m diameter tunnel in two parallel bores along a 23km route running from Paddington through to the East of London. This will include a crossing beneath the Thames at Woolwich and interfaces with six major new underground stations. The tunnels will be constructed using Tunnel Boring Machines and it will be one of the largest tunnelling projects in Europe at present. Duncan Wilkinson, Arup Project Director, said: "This has been a momentous week for Crossrail, Arup and all involved in the project so far. The appointment of the Arup/Atkins team builds on a number of major rail projects across the world where we have successfully collaborated with Atkins. Meanwhile, groundbreaking at the new Canary Wharf Station, of which Arup is lead designer, demonstrates that the project is now truly gathering momentum. We look forward to contributing our knowledge and skills in making the Crossrail vision a reality." David Tonkin, Managing Director of Atkins rail business, said: "Crossrail is set to become one of the world's most prestigious new rail links that demands engineers of the highest calibre and experience. Atkins brings a wealth of expertise from other successful international metro-style projects such as the Dubai Metro, South Africa's Gautrain, Copenhagen metro, and numerous projects for Hong Kong's MTRC and KCRC." Above ground, the team will also undertake assessment and the design of protection measures for almost 4500 buildings that might be affected by settlement from the tunnelling work, of which around 250 are listed. Peak resourcing during the18 month design period will reach over 150 staff working in a collaborative design environment within CRL's Canary Wharf offices.
