£400m Crossrail tunnel M&E fit-out
Crossrail has started the search for a contractor to carry out M&E and power line work in the main tunnel sections. The system wide trackwork and tunneling M&E fit-out works were due to be let separately, but Crossrail has combined the work into a single contract in the hope of finding savings.
The new Crossrail tunnels will also require over 50 ventilation fans, 40km of walkways, 60 drainage pumps, 30km of fire mains as well as lighting throughout the entire length. The fit-out works will be carried out within the entire tunnelled section of the Crossrail route between Royal Oak, Pudding Mill Lane and Plumstead Portals.
It is envisaged that the selected contractor will start fit-out simultaneously from both Royal Oak and Plumstead portals. Contract will be awarded in late 2012, providing the chosen contractor with sufficient time to undertake detailed design and planning before fit-out work commences in 2014.
