Morgan Est awarded #33m Shepherd's Bush underground station upgrade

London Underground (LU) has awarded Morgan Est, the infrastructure services
division of Morgan Sindall plc, a two-year, #33 million programme of civil
engineering and building works to improve station access and relieve pedestrian
congestion at Shepherd's Bush Central Line underground station.  This contract
has been awarded through the five-year Alternative Provider Framework Agreement
Morgan Est has with London Underground.

The Shepherd's Bush project includes two new shafts, new access tunnels and
mechanical and electrical services, and will be delivered by Morgan Est's rail
and tunnelling teams. The project is due for completion in 2008.

Morgan Est, which is the UK's only civil engineering contractor with an in-house
tunnel design team, has most recently completed a #180 million programme of
tunnelling projects at Heathrow Airport's new Terminal 5. This includes the new
Piccadilly Line and Heathrow Express tunnel extensions. The company is currently
carrying out a #55 million tunnelling scheme at King's Cross St Pancras Station
with joint-venture partner Beton-und Monierbau to provide additional underground
pedestrian links.
