Installation of track – Bond Street - Tottenham Court Road
C610-XRL-Z-XBU-CRG02-50001
The Crossrail contractor appointed to provide the power, utilities,
track systems and other services within the central tunnel areas
(known as the Systemwide works) has begun enabling works
within the tunnels below the new Crossrail Bond Street station.
This marks the beginning of work to install rail tracks within the
central section of Crossrail.
During week commencing 4 January 2016, an acoustic shed will
be constructed within the Eastern Ticket Hall, Hanover Square
worksite. Concrete pumping equipment will be enclosed within
this acoustic shed in order to mitigate against potential noise
disruption.
From 12 January 2016 night time concreting will commence for
the construction of the rail track, which is specially designed to
minimise operational noise and vibration transmission. This is
achieved by suspending the track and surrounding support
structures on springs.
Pumping concrete to construct the rail track between Bond Street
and Tottenham Court Road, will take place from January to July
2016 every fourth night. The night time working has been chosen
to reduce daytime traffic congestion in the vicinity of the work
site.
Although most Systemwide works will take place below the
surface, with the majority of materials being transported via the
Crossrail tunnels from the temporary railhead at Westbourne
Park, it will be necessary for some deliveries to be made to the
surface sites. To facilitate these deliveries additional traffic
marshals and vehicle schedules will be in place to minimise
disruption.
We will continue to keep you informed of developments and
progress.
