Carillion awarded contracts by Network Rail worth £122 million
Carillion has been awarded two contracts by Network Rail - Crossrail West Inner Track Improvements and Crossrail Old Oak Common and Paddington Approaches and Intercity Express Programme - which together are worth some £122 million.
These contracts will enable the new Crossrail service to be integrated into Network Rail's existing infrastructure from Stockley Junction in the West through to Old Oak Common on the approaches to Paddington. The contracts involve a wide range of services including design, track work, switches and crossings, overhead line and cable management, together with minor civil engineering works.
Commenting, Carillion Chief Executive, Richard Howson, said: ''As one of Network Rail's largest suppliers, we are delighted to have been selected for these important contracts. We look forward to continuing our strong relationship with Network Rail through working together to delivering the upgrades required to enable Crossrail to connect to the existing network between Stockley Junction and Old Oak Common."
The contracts, which are being procured and managed by Network Rail with some funding coming from Crossrail, are due from completion by Summer 2017.
