Crossrail has today officially announced that it has awarded the main construction contracts for Farringdon and Whitechapel stations. C435 – Farringdon station has been awarded to the BAM Nuttall/Ferrovial Agroman (UK)/Kier Construction JV, whilst C512 – Whitechapel station has been won by the Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering/Morgan Sindall/Vinci Construction UK JV. Intensive construction for both stations will get underway next year.

Andy Mitchell, Crossrail Programme Director said, “Crossrail contracts continue to generate significant construction industry interest. As with the Paddington station contract earlier this year, high quality bids were received for both Farringdon and Whitechapel stations. The main construction contracts for Bond Street, Tottenham Court Road and Liverpool Street stations will be awarded in 2012.

“Work is progressing along the Crossrail route ahead of tunnelling starting next spring. Manufacture of our TBMs is advancing, the first of the tunnel portals is now complete and the new Tunnelling and Underground Construction Academy has welcomed its first students.”

When Crossrail opens, Farringdon will become one of Britain’s busiest train stations served by Thameslink, Crossrail and London Underground.

At Whitechapel, the new Crossrail station will be located to the north of the existing station with a new ticket-hall providing step-free access to Crossrail, London Underground and London Overground.

A total of eight new Crossrail stations will be constructed – Paddington, Bond Street, Tottenham Court Road, Farringdon, Liverpool Street, Whitechapel, Canary Wharf and Custom House. Berkeley Homes has also agreed to build a Station Box at Woolwich.

On 18 February 2011, Crossrail confirmed the shortlist for C435 Farringdon station. The following organisations were invited to tender.
