Project Description: Crossrail, Europe’s largest infrastructure project, provides a vital link across the capital with over 100km of track. Emico was appointed as designer and installer of mechanical, electrical and fire systems on thirteen stations from Slough to Maidenhead.

A multi-site project combined with working on live operational infrastructure and limited access to the track presents many issues to overcome.  When combined with working with the public on operational stations, this becomes a major challenge.  Emico has provided design solutions which are buildable – early collaboration with our client Taylor Woodrow has ensured that we carry out only those surveys required to complete the design.  Buildability in a live station environment is a key issue – maintaining operation of the station and the safety of the travelling public whilst ensuring new systems are implemented.
