Costain Skanska JV awarded second Crossrail contract 
 
Costain, in joint venture with Skanska, announces that it has been awarded a 
second contract by Crossrail, as part of its enabling works framework, for the 
construction of the Pudding Mill Lane Portal. 
 
The value of the contract is similar in size and scope to the Royal Oak portal 
previously announced in March. 
 
Pudding Mill Lane Portal, which is close to Stratford and adjacent to the 
existing DLR, overland railways and the Lea River, will act as the transition 
ramp for Crossrail trains when entering and exiting the north east section of 
the central London tunnels. 
 
Work will begin immediately and is scheduled for completion in summer 2011. 
 
Commenting on the contract award, Andrew Wyllie, Chief Executive of Costain, 
said: 
 
"To have secured another contract on Crossrail so soon after the Royal Oak 
contract is excellent news for Costain and reflects our recognised skills and 
capabilities in this arena. Crossrail will be one of the greatest engineering 
projects seen in the UK for some time and we are delighted to be playing a major 
early role in its delivery."
