Earl's Court Station
PPP Modernisation Project

Value:

The project is worth approximately £39m

Timescales:

January 2005 saw the scoping and outlining design by a previous (non-Balfour Beatty Management) team. We became involved one year later and took over management of the project in full in March 2006. Completion is due in April 2009.

Background:

This project was born out of Metronet's PPP contract with London Underground.

Our brief:

The provision of a first-class project management team to run this project for Metronet and report to their Programme Manager.

Services provided:

This project utilises a variety of our services, including project management (design, construction); commercial and procurement management; and requirements management.

Our achievements:

Still in its infancy, the project team are commencing detailed designs and surveys on E&M systems and have also made progress on early site-enabling works.

The agreement of project scope has been one of the first great achievements of the team. Beyond that, BBM have been establishing a strong project team and building close working relationships with both Metronet and the London Underground. These strong bonds have meant the opportunity to offer our people a great deal of development opportunities, working on multi-disciplinary, multi-life cycle projects with further opportunities in project and contract management. Opportunities with such immense scope are rare in our industry.
