Tunnelling Journal can confirm that the Ferrovial Laing O’Rourke Joint Venture (FLo JV) has ordered two 6.04m diameter NFM EPBMs for use on London Underground’s Northern Line Extension.
The project will involve the construction of some 3.3km of 5.2m i.d. twin tunnel and two large scale stations, one at Battersea and one at Nine Elms, under a design-build contract. Construction is expected to begin this Spring with the line scheduled to be operational in 2020.
