Turner & Townsend will provide project management and assurance support to the Rail for London Infrastructure (RfLI) team on the Crossrail engineering safety and assurance case (CESAC).
The appointment comes through the Transport for London (TfL) project & programme management services framework.
TfL took over sole responsibility for Crossrail from the Department for Transport at the beginning of October 2020 as operator of what will be Elizabeth Line services.
Turner & Townsend鈥檚 support contract started in September 2020, working alongside its Vertex Systems Engineering consultancy business.
The CESAC forms part of the transition from a project environment to an operational railway, enabling CRL to demonstrate that its engineering safety and assurance obligations have been achieved.聽聽聽
