Sources say contractor set to win Pudding Mill Lane Portal job
Contractor Morgan Sindall is set to win the 拢50m Pudding Mill Lane Portal job on Crossrail, according to separate sources close to the process.
The firm is thought to have received a letter of intent from Crossrail, which is set to make a swath of contract announcements in April once it has received sign-off by the Treasury on its final Crossrail project review.
The job, which is close to the Olympic park, involves the construction of a 190m walled box to form the foundation for launching a tunnel boring machine to dig the main eastern tunnels.
Sign-off of the Treasury鈥檚 Crossrail review, called RP4, is expected on 6 April, giving Crossrail full authority to spend its budget without going back to the government.
Reports this week tipped J Murphy with Hochtief for the Thames Tunnel job, worth 拢250-400m, with Vinci tipped for the smaller Connaught Tunnel refurbishment contract.
Crossrail is also preparing to announce the outcome of a major shake-up of its delivery structure. This will see the roles of project delivery partner and programme partner, performed by Bechtel and a CH2M Hill-led consortium respectively, slimmed down.
A source close to the process said: 鈥淭his will mean there are no gaps, overlaps and that each job is only done once.鈥�
A spokesperson for Crossrail said: 鈥淭hese contracts have not yet been awarded.鈥�
