Network Rail has awarded Osborne the contract for the enabling works at London Bridge Station – part of the Thameslink Programme Key Output 2.

The £10 million programme will involve removing and transferring key station services and assets, such as telecoms cabling, around the station by 2013 to ensure that the main works contract for the £800m redevelopment of London Bridge station starts on time, minimising risk to Network Rail's Thameslink Programme.

Osborne has formed a team with Mace and T Clarke to work collaboratively with Network Rail on this project. Design work will start immediately with first physical works starting in early 2012, subject to the success of a planning application currently before Southwark Council.

Dave Hooper, Managing Director of Osborne's rail team, said: "This is a fantastic project to be involved in. Delivering the enabling works with minimum disruption to the travelling public at one of London’s busiest stations is a challenge but one we are confident of fulfilling to help ensure the Thameslink Programme remains on track."
