Thameslink - Borough Viaduct, Borough High Street Bridge, London

摘要

The 350m twin-track viaduct spanning Borough Market, Borough High Street and the approaches to London Bridge Station required extensive demolition and reinstatement of properties and a historic, listed cast iron roof. Intensive liaison with local businesses kept Borough Market operational throughout. The area is rich in cultural heritage, archaeology and listed buildings and has a complex interface with the Borough Market, its traders, local residents, businesses and Southwark Cathedral. The viaduct is adjacent to a busy operational railway. Engagement of the workforce and minimising the impact of the project on the community has been the key to its successful and safe delivery. The project has been run in a collaborative manner, including collaborative planning sessions where all parties that have the ability to affect the programme are involved in the detailed planning and a joint recognition scheme.
