The C233 North contract in the Royal Victoria Dock and King George V Dock in East London will enable Crossrail to construct the planned station portal and undertake associated works.
The advanced works contract for Crossrail requires the diversion of multiple services from their existing positions to multi-utility trenches situated along the Factory Road and Albert and Victoria Dock Roads.
This includes small and large diameter gas and water mains, trunk and combined sewers and electricity and telecommunications ducts.
The scope of works also includes the construction of a micro tunnel and two permanent cross-over roads.
The contract value is between £5-10m and is due to be completed by March 2012.
