An elevated terminus station and extension of the overground line to serve one of the largest new residential developments in Europe. We’re helping to connect communities in East London through the extension of the Gospel Oak to Barking Overground line east of Barking Station.
Delivered by the MSVF (Morgan Sindall Infrastructure and VolkerFitzpatrick) Joint Venture, the line terminates at a new elevated station in the main square of the Barking Riverside development. This new infrastructure will serve 10,800 new homes being built as part of the Barking Riverside Limited residential development, providing transport links from the new community into Central London.
Enhancing an area of outstanding natural beauty by replacing towers and overhead lines with underground cable. National Grid’s Visual Impact Provision (VIP) programme sets out to reduce the impact of existing electricity transmission lines in Areas of Outstanding National Beauty (AONBs) and National Parks across England and Wales.
One of several projects within the wider VIP programme, Dorset VIP is the first to be undertaken and involves the removal of 22 towers and 8.8 kilometres of overhead lines near the villages of Martinstown and Winterbourne Abbas, replacing them with an underground connection.
Expanding London’s sewer network to help prevent sewage pollution in the River Thames. London's 'super sewer', the Thames Tideway Tunnel is a phenomenal piece of engineering that will tackle pollution in the River Thames by collecting sewage before it enters the river.
The 25 kilometre tunnel is being excavated by six giant Tunnel Boring Machines using rotating disc-shaped cutterheads, creating the tunnel walls with pre-made concrete segments whilst removing the thousands of tonnes of spoil. The Morgan Sindall Infrastructure three-way joint venture with BAM Nuttall and Balfour Beatty is delivering the seven kilometre West section of the project, which stretches across seven sites from Acton in West London to Wandsworth in South West London.
Improving and enhancing wastewater and water assets to meet Welsh Water’s customer and regulatory commitments. We've been working with Welsh Water as a trusted partner for more than 25 years, helping to deliver their Asset Management Plans (AMPs), enhancing and maintaining the network and supporting their work towards the Welsh Water 2050 vision: to become a world class, resilient and sustainable water service.
As a Capital Alliance Delivery Partner, we're responsible for delivering a five year programme of work across the sewerage network and wastewater treatment works. Improvements delivered as part of these programmes range from the removal of individual properties from risk of sewer flooding, investigation and prevention of environmental pollution to the installation of innovative treatment technologies new to the UK.
Delivering the UK’s first ever curved ‘jacked box’ portal to increase capacity of the rail network. This project will increase capacity in the area north of Peterborough station, identified as a bottleneck in Network Rail’s Line of Route Capacity Report (2012), due to slower freight trains having to cross the high speed East Coast Main Line (ECML) at Werrington Junction.
Delivering a new ‘dive-under’ track (where one set of tracks tunnels underneath another) will provide an alternative route for freight trains, meaning they no longer need to cross the ECML. Our team's scope includes the construction of a 160 metre curved jacked dive-under below the ECML, twin-bore tunnelling, culvert and river diversions, new footbridge installation, existing bridge modifications, 2 kilometres of piling, track slewing, and various other associated works.
A programme of upgrades and improvements at the UK’s busiest airport. Following the successful delivery of several projects on Heathrow’s Q4 and Q5 programmes, in 2014 Morgan Sindall Infrastructure was appointed to the five year Q6 framework. In 2019 the Q6 framework agreement was extended for a further two years, Q6 +1, ending in December 2021. Securing Q6+1 recognises us as one of Heathrow’s integral partners.
While Q4 and Q5 encompassed new terminal buildings and major infrastructure, Q6 focuses on optimising existing infrastructure and assets. This involves work on a higher volume of smaller projects than previous frameworks, to improve resilience for the world’s busiest two runway airport.
Upgrading a main transport corridor to reduce congestion and improve access to land earmarked for future developments. Part of the Eastern Highways Alliance Framework, this project involved the upgrade of a 2.8 kilometre stretch of the A421, from Junction 13 to the Eagle Farm roundabout, which is used by almost 30,000 vehicles a day.
The upgrade increases capacity for the A421, reducing traffic on local roads and offering improved safety and journey times. Completed in 18 months, we delivered full carriageway reconstruction, complex traffic management and temporary works, the demolition and reconstruction of Cranfield Road bridge, and construction of a steel trussed bridleway bridge. Work also included site clearance, earthworks, embankments, balancing ponds and highway drainage.
Providing a fresh approach to delivering essential infrastructure asset services to the Sellafield site. Infrastructure Strategic Alliance (ISA), which we're delivering in joint venture with Arup, is responsible for the infrastructure portfolio, masterplanning and feasibility and design studies across Sellafield, Europe's most complex nuclear site. ISA also plays an important part in driving economic growth across West Cumbria.
Now in its second five year term, ISA provides a site wide consistent approach to the delivery of infrastructure projects by combining the latest industry techniques with specialist expertise from other sectors. The Alliance defines, manages, constructs, commissions and hands over a range of projects set out in the ISA Works Programme.
