Atkins has been appointed by VINCI BAM Nuttall JV to design, install, test and commission telecommunications assets at London’s Victoria Underground station, as part of the major programme to the station, which is one of London’s busiest interchanges, used by over 80 million passengers a year.

Atkins will deliver a range of works, including providing the final construction design, design co-ordination, coordinated fabrication drawings, supply of installation labour and delivery of equipment necessary to undertake complete installations of new Station Communication Systems for the Victoria Station Upgrade Project.

Atkins will deliver a complete suite of telecommunications services and Douglas McCormick, Managing Director for Atkins’ Rail business, said Atkins’ capabilities will ensure this contract is delivered to the highest level.

“Atkins has a very successful history delivering telecommunication and station redevelopment projects, and this contract will ensure that Victoria tube station is both a leading and user friendly rail station,” said Mr McCormick.

The contract at Victoria Station, which is  undergoing a £700m redevelopment , further strengthens the company’s extensive underground portfolio.

“Our teams’ diverse background and project personalisation further proves our capabilities, and our ability to deliver in different rail environments,” said Mr McCormick.

Atkins’ role is expected to be completed in June 2016 with the overall London Victoria Underground Station project due for completion by 2018.
