Kings Cross, London, UK Redevelopment Project
As a project engineer, played a crucial role in the transformation of Kings Cross, one of London's most significant urban regeneration projects. Your responsibilities included:
-
Station Construction: We were involved in the redevelopment of the Kings Cross Station, ensuring the project adhered to design specifications, safety standards, and timelines. This included coordinating with various stakeholders and managing on-site activities.
-
Shafts Construction: We oversaw the construction of shafts, which are essential for providing access to tunnelling operations. This involved using circular pre-cast segmental linings, a method that minimizes the construction footprint and ensures structural integrity
-
SCL Tunnelling: We managed the construction of tunnels using Sprayed Concrete Lining (SCL) techniques. This modern method involves spraying concrete onto the tunnel surface, which can incorporate reinforcement and lattice arches for added stability
Our coordination, and engineering ensured the successful completion of these critical components of the redevelopment project, contributing to the overall transformation of Kings Cross into a vibrant and modern urban area.
