Another shortlist for Tideway Carnwath Rd Shaft at BCIA 2024!

2 July 2024

Our Carnwath Rd shaft design for Balfour Beatty/Morgan Sindall/BAM Joint Venture, on behalf of Tideway London, has been shortlisted for a second category in this year’s British Construction Industry Awards – Temporary Works Initiative of the Year!

The Tideway integrated temporary and permanent works transfer truss solution was applied on the £750m Tideway West Project to accelerate the programme by six months, protecting the overall system preliminary commissioning commencement date. This was a significant challenge as the BMB JV was already working 24/7 with just two years left on the programme. Construction of the shaft internal structures at Carnwath Road Site (CARRR) was driving critical path, and re-designing the large elements of reinforced concrete works remaining in the large drop shaft was vital to delivering a significant reduction in programme, and increasing safety during execution.
