Construction is progressing at Bank Station Capacity Upgrade and Dr. Sauer & Partners is proud to be an integral part of this ambitious project. Our site team is providing design support services 24/7 and is excited about the excellent progress made so far in tunnel construction.

Bank Station Capacity Upgrade has now reached the point everyone has been working for – construction of the shaft and tunnel works using sprayed concrete lining (SCL).

As part of the design team selected by Transport for London to progress the design for the Holborn Station Capacity Upgrade, Dr. Sauer & Partners completed the Feasibility and Pre-Concept Study in early 2015.

As part of the Bank Station Capacity Upgrade (BSCU) Project Dr Sauer & Partners has been appointed to carry out the assessment of ground movements induced by the excavation of new underground works on the existing LU civil assets, tracks and lifts & escalators.

Dr Sauer & Partners has been assigned to assess the ground movement impact of the proposed BSCU tunnelling works on the existing LU (London Underground) & DLR (Docklands Light Railway) civil assets in the Bank-Monument station complex.

Start of SCL construction is imminent as Dr. Sauer & Partners submit Arthur Street Construction Shaft Design to LU for Compliance. In parallel DLR Sprayed Concrete Lining (SCL) temporary works designs have evolved.

Tunnelling works in Bond Street Station are now almost complete. The Southern tunnels were delivered in September 2015 and 30% of the Northern tunnels have already been handed over to the fit out team. 

After the completion of the Feasibility and Pre-Concept Study the project has now entered the Concept Design stage. Dr. Sauer & Partners is part of the design team selected by Transport for London to progress the design into the next stage.

Works are underway at Bond Street Station, one of the most complex London Underground station upgrade projects to date. 

The Northern line and DLR design drawing packages have now been submitted. The assessment of the existing structures has been finished.
