Crossrail Whitechapel Station
Client: BBMV Joint Venture
Location: England
Year completed: 2020
Services: Construction engineering, detailed design, inspection




Whitechapel Crossrail station acts as an interchange between the Crossrail, Hammersmith and City, District (HCDL) and London Overground (LO) lines. The works were complex to facilitate construction works within a busy station.
We were involved a large number of temporary works designs that interacted with live railway tracks and cabling, including:
- A piling platform and working area on the LO platforms and across the tracks.
- Inspection and design of a temporary masonry wall support frame, installed and modified in four phases, to support a wall adjacent to the LU tracks to facilitate demolition and construction
of the steel framed concourse. - Assessment of the temporary condition of the new concourse steelwork for fire and designed temporary cladding support for a stairway.
- Independent check of the temporary support structure to the west lift lobby.
- Temporary cladding to a stairwell
