Network Rail awarded Skanska, in alliance with Aecom, Colas Rail and Mott MacDonald, a contract to design and construct the Waterloo and South West Upgrade on the South West Trains network in the South of England. The total contract value is GBP 453 million (EUR 523 million). Skanska’s part of the contract is GBP 165 million (EUR 190.4 million).
The project includes full design and construction to bring back the Waterloo International Terminal into use, platform modifications at Waterloo station and improvements to the outlying stations and rail systems.
The Wessex Route is part of the South Western Rail network connecting the terminal at Waterloo station, one of the UK’s busiest station, to the south coast and the rail connections in between, delivering better connections for millions of passengers.
With an emphasis on innovation, sustainability and collaboration, the alliance team brings together international expertise to deliver an enhanced railway that will increase capacity by 30 percent and protect the network for the future.
The project will completed in April 2019.
