Crossrail contract

by Mark Rowe

The joint venture ATC (Alstom, TSO and Costain) has made Servest Security its guarding security provider for the final system-wide Crossrail project.

The four-year contract will see the security contractor, part of the Servest Group, deliver manned guarding and mobile patrol services to the second phase of this east to west, cross-London project.

The project will see joint venture, ATC, fitting out the necessary track and power equipment within the 21 kilometres of twin tunnels that stretch under the city of London. The work will be carried out within the tunnel itself and will span the route covering Royal Oak, Pudding Mill Lane and Plumstead Portals. On the completion of this route, the Crossrail trains will run from 2018.

Servest says that it has considerable experience protecting Crossrail projects, having worked with the project for several years. The contract firm adds that it has designed a bespoke security package for the ever-evolving and complex needs of the construction project, the largest in Europe, and the biggest infrastructure project the UK has seen.

Michael Lamoureaux, pictured, Managing Director of Servest Security, said: “We are delighted to be working on this project and look forward to working with ATC over the next four years. This project further cements Servest Security’s partnership with Crossrail as the main security supplier across London.”
