AWARD OF NEW INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS TOTALLING GBP42M
Morgan Sindall Group plc, the construction and regeneration
group, today announces that its construction and infrastructure
division, Morgan Sindall, has been appointed to deliver two new
infrastructure projects in the rail and water sectors.
Network Rail has awarded Morgan Sindall the GBP20m North
Doncaster Chord project. This project comprises the construction of
a new 3.2km twin track railway and a six span viaduct to add extra
capacity and remove a critical bottleneck from the East Coast Main
Line (ECML).
The proposed development will include the construction of a
permanent highway overbridge over the ECML and associated track and
signalling connections. The works also involve replacing an
existing level crossing with a highway bridge which will reduce the
height of the new railway link, or 'chord', and provide road users
with a safer crossing of the ECML.
The scheme will be delivered by Network Rail, Morgan Sindall and
URS working in a new alliancing culture which will harness
efficiencies and mitigate risk.
Separately, Morgan Sindall, in a joint venture with engineering
consultants Grontmij, has been awarded a circa GBP22m project with
Yorkshire Water Services to improve Bridlington's bathing water
quality. This project includes the construction of two new combined
sewer overflow chambers and an 800 metre long, two metre diameter,
storm water tunnel. In addition, a new storm water pumping station
will be constructed and the existing headworks building extended
and its pumps upgraded. The Morgan Sindall/Grontmij team will be
working at four separate sites across Bridlington.
John Morgan, Chief Executive of Morgan Sindall Group commented:
"We have a strong track record in the growth infrastructure sectors
of rail and water and we look forward to working in close
partnership with Network Rail and Yorkshire Water Services to
deliver these important projects. We are focused on schemes which
bring about improvements to environments and services and I am
delighted that these projects will improve infrastructure for
residents and visitors to Bridlington and for the thousands of
passengers and freight services that rely on the East Coast Main
Line."
