The BBMV JV, which consists of Balfour Beatty, Morgan Sindall and VINCI Construction, is delivering the Crossrail Whitechapel Main Station Works contract (C512).
The temporary facility means all technical systems at the current main station can now be mitigated while the main building is upgraded as part of the new Crossrail concourse.

The C512 contract is divided into three primary work sites in Whitechapel including the refurbishment of the existing station, developing a new station bridge concourse above the line and a new ticket hall.
In addition, BBMV will build new shafts and platforms for the Crossrail tunnels, related architecture and M&E infrastructure.
Work on Whitechapel Station began in December 2011 and is due to be completed in 2018.
Nigel Russell, Project Director, said: "The team successfully managed the risks involved, with careful planning and cooperation between project disciplines, by ensuring that safe systems of work were in place and by implementing and following all railway procedures."
