Crossrail will become the largest construction project in Europe following on from the Olympics, with a contract value of
over £16bn. It has several sections of work underway already and we are supplying all of these sites with a wide range of products. The stations and tunnelling starts this year and Burdens Rail are ideally positioned to become a major supply chain partner to this prestigous project.
London Underground is undergoing a major upgrading programme and requires specialist products and services together with a flexible approach to logistics and innovative product solutions. Often very complex and tight programme schedules need positive and trusted response from a supplier and Burdens are at the forefront of this market.
There are several London Overground lines in operation and a number of improvements and extensions are in progress or have capital funding. The first section of the East London line for example has recently opened where Burdens sold £1.5m of products and the second phase is due to start shortly, so our knowledge and experience in servicing large rail projects is continually growing.
Network Rail has 670 stations in the South East Region and over 2000 nationally. The government recognises the importance of a world-class efficient railway system and have approved record levels of investment nationwide. New projects, together with all the infrastructure work associated with the stations, car parks, tunnels and maintenance will provide continuity of work for the long term.
Burdens Rail is uniquely aligned to assist network rail and their approved contractors with projects such as Crossrail by our tailored Burdens Rail catalogue, logistics solution and innovation through our flexile and specialised approach.
We look forward to updating you with our progress and reporting on the exciting challenges and new developments to come.
