A joint venture partnership between Costain and Skanska will carry out the main works at Bond Street station after signing a £110 million contract with Crossrail.

The project will involve the main construction, platform fit-out and mechanical and electrical services for the Western Ticket Hall in Davies Street and the Eastern Ticket Hall in Hanover Square.

The agreement follows a contract already awarded to the partnership in 2011 for the initial construction of the structure of the station.

Work will commence this month and is expected to complete in February 2017 ahead of Crossrail’s opening in 2018.

Skanska UK executive vice president Bill Hocking said: “We are delighted to have secured another part of the Crossrail programme.

“This is the seventh contract for the joint venture and follows on from the Bond Street advance civil engineering works, which we won in March 2011.

“Being awarded the last of the main construction contracts for the new central section stations is testament to our performance on Crossrail overall, and to the great people we have in place delivering these contracts across the capital.”
