Specialist will deliver grouting, structural monitoring and surveying works

Keller has won two contracts worth 拢30m on the main tunnels for Crossrail.

The ground engineering firm will deliver the compensation grouting works at Tottenham Court Road and Bond Street Crossrail stations in a joint venture with BAM Ritchies.

The contract covers the installation of over 50km of specialist pipe, through which grout will be pumped whilst the tunneling works are in progress, to mitigate any ground movement and protect the existing infrastructure.

Keller has also won a contract for structural monitoring, geotechnical instrumentation and surveying works.

Work on both contracts will begin shortly and will run through to 2014.

Keller chief executive Justin Atkinson said: 鈥淢ajor infrastructure projects such as these, requiring complex solutions, play to our strengths as a global, high-capacity provider.

鈥淭hese three contracts, which will draw on combined group resources and our considerable experience of large-scale tunnel stabilisation projects around the world, demonstrate the synergies between our businesses, particularly when it comes to co-operation on large projects.鈥�
