Building contractor, civil engineering and property services firm Osborne has been awarded the contract for the enabling works at London Bridge Station by Network Rail.

The £10million+ programme will consist of removing and transferring key station services and assets around the station by 2013 to ensure that the main contract for the £800m redevelopment of London Bridge starts on time. This will minimise any risks to Network Rail’s Thameslink Programme.

Dave Hooper, Managing Director of Osborne’s rail team, said: “This is a fantastic project to be involved in. Delivering the enabling works with minimum disruption to the travelling public at one of London’s busiest stations is a challenge but one we are confident of fulfilling to help ensure the Thameslink Programme remains on track.”
