Flexcrete strengthens UK station

摘要

Flexcrete Technologies has enhanced the durability of Moorgate Shaft at the new Crossrail Liverpool Street Station in London, by using a wet spray cementitious mortar. The shaft has been newly constructed to provide access and ventilation to the new ticket hall being constructed at the station. Crossrail is Europe's largest infrastructure project, with a total of 21 km of new twin bore tunnels under construction, said Flexcrete. Crossrail will provide a high frequency rail service that will link parts of Berkshire and Buckinghamshire, via central London, to Essex and South East London, providing additional transport capacity and reducing congestion on the London Underground. Services through central London will begin in 2018, and around 200 million passengers will travel on Crossrail each year, meaning the route will provide a 10% increase to rail capacity, according to the company.
