Third Party Technical Interface Management
Summary
The Elizabeth line traverses some of London’s most dense and evolving metropolitan areas. Safeguarding of the route has played an important part since the identification of a tunnelled route back in the early 1990s, following promoters’ recognition of the need to preserve and protect necessary building space and to manage interfaces with adjacent properties and developments.
This paper reflects experience and lessons learned while managing the potential impact of many third party developments during construction of the Central Section of the railway between Royal Oak Portal in the west, Pudding Mill Lane Portal on the northeast branch towards Shenfield, and Plumstead Portal on the southeast branch towards Abbey Wood.
