We reported at the beginning of this month that Costain Skanska had been selected subject to the statutory 10-day standstill period. The contract value was not disclosed at that time, however.
The project involves the main construction, platform fit-out and M&E services for the Western Ticket Hall in Davies Street and the Eastern Ticket Hall in Hanover Square. It follows on from the contract already awarded to the JV and announced in March 2011, for the initial construction of the structure of the station.
Work will begin this month and is expected to complete in February 2017 ahead of Crossrail's opening in 2018.
Costain chief executive Andrew Wyllie said: “This contract awarded to Costain by Crossrail is, we believe, further demonstration of the successful implementation of our 'Choosing Costain' strategy, in which we focus on building long term relationships with and winning repeat works from blue chip customers who are spending billions on meeting vital infrastructure needs. This contract further contributes to the strength of our order book, which comprises approximately 90% repeat business.”
