Balfour Beatty plc, in joint venture, has been awarded the Whitechapel Crossrail contract worth £110 million.
The joint venture partners comprising Balfour Beatty, Morgan Sindall and Vinci Construction have a track record of delivering major infrastructure schemes, not only in London, but throughout the world.

“We are delighted to have been awarded this Crossrail contract.
“We, together with our joint venture partners, are using the full range of skills, resources and technical expertise required to deliver not only this contract, but the Whitechapel and Liverpool Street station tunnels project, awarded to the joint venture in January this year.”
