Carnwath Road shaft for Tideway London shortlisted in BCI Awards 2024!

27 June 2024

We’re very proud to share that our Carnwath Road shaft design for Balfour Beatty/Morgan Sindall/Bam Joint Venture, on behalf of Tideway London, has been shortlisted for “Productivity Initiative of the Year” in the British Construction Industry Awards 2024!

Our innovative design incorporated the temporary works into the permanent works, maximising the extent of slipforming up to cover slab level, and eliminating the need for traditional falsework within the shaft for chamber and cover slab construction. The hung transfer truss solution enabled the site team to cast the slip-form secondary lining of the whole shaft in a single streamlined process, rather than casting the shaft lining in two phases – shaving 6 months off the programme, increasing safety during execution by reducing confined space and working at height risks, reducing carbon and waste, and a saving of approximately £5m in plant, equipment and labour.
