Bond Street Water Main Replacement
- Sector:Water & Utilities
- Client:Thames Water
- Location:London
- Value:£6.5m
To meet London’s ever growing transport needs, LUL carried
out a major upgrade of Bond Street Station. More than 155,000
passengers use the station daily. With that number expected to increase to 225,000 when Crossrail arrived in 2018.
The upgrade works were to reduce congestion and delays at the station, open a new station entrance, provide step-free access and integrate access to Crossrail services.
To enable LUL to deliver the full programme of works safely,
several critical water mains needed to be protected from potential
settlement, which could arise from the Crossrail tunnelling operations
and the associated station upgrade.
