Old Oak Common Tender

Scope Construction of west London super-hub at the former Great Western railway depot at Old Oak Common.The new station is expected to help kick-start the countrys largest regeneration project to transform the former railway and industrial area into a new neighbourhood which will unlock 25500 new homes and create up to 65000 jobs. The high-speed platforms situated underground will have an integrated connection to the adjoining conventional station at ground level through a shared overbridge.The super-hub is expected to be the best connected rail station in the UK with connection to Elizabeth line Crossrail into central London and Heathrow Airport with HS2 services to the midlands Scotland and the North. The six 450-metre HS2 platforms will be built in a 1km underground box where twin tunnels will take high-speed trains east to the terminus at Euston and west to the outskirts of London. The station designed by a team led by engineering professional services consulting firm WSP and architects WilkinsonEyre is expected to be the UKs best connected rail interchange with nearly 250000 people passing through every day. Construction at the site is scheduled to start later in 2019. As of now HS2 is working to clear the site and prepare it for building works to begin as pictured here. Current works include site clearance demolition and dismantling of existing buildings archaeological works and surveys.The six HS2 platforms will be located underground accessible by escalator from the stations main concourse. At surface level four platforms will be dedicated to Elizabeth Line services and another four have been earmarked to potentially provide additional rail connections to Wales and the west of England. Upon completion the station is expected to become the UKs best-connected rail interchange serving around 250000 passengers daily. The station is intended to become a nexus in a wider regeneration scheme for the area developing a new neighbourhood in the former industrial district with more than 25000 new homes and supporting up to 65000 jobs. The broader project is being led by the Mayor of Londons Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation OPDC.On September 2019 High Speed Two HS2 a company that is developing and constructing the UKs new high-speed rail network has awarded construction management contract to Balfour BeattyVinciSystra joint venture for the new 1bn Old Oak Common station in the UK. Set to become a London super-hub the Old Oak Common Station will be located on the site of the existing Old Oak Common railway depot GWR and Heathrow Express south of Willesden Junction Station.Under the contract the joint venture will be responsible for the final design construction and commissioning of Old Oak Common station. The project comprises six underground platforms as well as up to eight platforms on the adjacent Great Western Main Line.Following the completion HS2s Old Oak Common sta
