CONSTRUCTION CLIENT OF THE YEAR

摘要

With work increasingly hard to come by, in 2012 Crossrail was, for many firms, The Big Project. In fact, it is Europe's biggest construction project. The ambitious plan to connect London and the Home Counties via 73 miles of rail track and 39 stations has led to thousands of contracts awarded to the construction industry. It has called on expertise from architects to design its nine new stations to tunneling specialists to work on its 25 miles of tunnel. Tier one contracts awarded have topped £5bn, a much-needed shot in the arm for construction. For this, and for sheer scope and ambition, Crossrail is to be applauded.
