Morgan Sindall BeMo JV Awarded £20m Contract
Morgan Sindall's joint venture (JV) with BeMo Tunnelling has secured a £20 million contract to design and build a new London Underground train maintenance facility.
The Train Modification Unit will be developed over an 18-month period at the existing Acton Works depot in West London.
Features include constructing a new 160-metre long train maintenance building, incorporating four pitted rail tracks and an accommodation block providing welfare and office facilities for 100 staff. In addition, new tracks and turn outs will be installed to connect into London Underground's existing network.
BakerHicks, one of Morgan Sindall's sister companies, will work alongside the JV on the design of the project.
Once finished, the depot will provide London Underground with the facilities required to deliver major packages of repair and upgrade works on their fleet of trains.
The project was awarded to Morgan Sindall BeMo following a mini-competition using London Underground's Civils and Tunnelling Works framework which the JV secured a place on in December 2016. The eight-year framework is anticipated to be worth £350m.
Andrew Jellis, Managing Director of Rail at Morgan Sindall, said: "We are delighted to be underway on our first project on this framework. We are looking forward to starting on site and setting the standard for our other works as this framework gathers pace."
