The contractor will construct two completely new stations in West Ealing and Acton Mainline, and significantly remodel Ealing Broadway.
Crossrail will see a new railway system fully integrated with the existing transport network in central London when services begin in 2020. The new Elizabeth Line will stretch more than 60 miles from Reading and Heathrow in the west, and through central tunnels across to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east.

GRAHAM will begin work immediately on the £46 million projects on behalf of Network Rail. Completion is scheduled for late 2020.
Jonny Kerr, GRAHAM Rail Director, said: "We are delighted to have been appointed to this nationally important infrastructure project that will help transform rail transport in London and the south east.
"Our selection is recognition of the collaborative relationship which we have developed with Network Rail.
"It also demonstrates our reputation for delivering excellence in the rail sector having recently completed a number of schemes including Bellenden and Westdown Bridges. Currently, we are completing transformative projects such as the Scarborough Train Care Facility and Portrush Train Station.
"We are proud that our work on the Great Western Main Line will help to provide a step change in public transport for the people of Ealing."
GRAHAM has been tasked with maintaining full service during the 18-month programme.
When complete, Crossrail will improve journey times, ease congestion and offer better connectivity for around 200 million passengers each year.
