Costain Joint Venture Excels In Latest CCS Assessment

A Costain and Laing O'Rourke Joint Venture has excelled in the latest Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) assessment, achieving a total score of 38 out of a possible 40 points for its work on the Bond Street Station Upgrade for London Underground.

Out of a total of eight categories, the joint venture team scored a maximum 5 out 5 points in four categories: safety, environment, accountability and being neighbourly. Elsewhere, the team scored 4.5 out of 5 for appearance and being respectful, responsible and considerate.

A score of 5 means exceptional measures were taken, while a score of 4 denotes a high level beyond compliance was achieved.

Costain and Laing O'Rourke are redeveloping the London Underground's Bond Street tube station as part of London Underground's Tube Upgrade Programme.

Work is focused on the north side of London's retail hub on Oxford Street, boosting capacity and creating step free access to the station. The project will increase commuter capacity in time to receive Crossrail traffic in the heart of Central London once services commence in 2018.

The team is hoping to improve on the Silver Award it received at the most recent Considerate Constructors Scheme National Site Awards in March.
