Indicative value of the main construction contract is approximately £35m.
The four on the shortlist are:
- Laing O'Rourke Construction
- Hochtief UK Construction/Hochtief Solutions JV;
- Costain
- Geoffrey Osborne.
Crossrail said that all four “performed strongly at pre-qualification stage”.
The contract will be awarded later this year. Construction will begin in early 2013 with the station completed in 2018.
The new Crossrail Custom House station in east London is the only above ground station within Crossrail’s central section. It will be built on the site of a former North London Line station that closed in December 2006.
The new station is expected to encourage the continued regeneration of the Royal Docks area and improve links between central London and the ExCeL exhibition centre, placing it 17 minutes form Bond Street and less than 45 minutes from Heathrow Airport.
