Crossrail Bond Street, London Transport For London £ £170,000 Costain Laing O’Rourke JV were awarded a £130 million construction contract to redevelop London Underground’s Bond Street tube station. John F Hunt carried out diamond drilling and wire sawing operations to the concrete structure from inside the services trench. Cutting through to the platform invert on the Jubilee Line, allowed CTP pipe work and a hydrant to be installed in the junctions between both the North and Southbound Jubilee Line platforms. This required deep penetrative drilling through the existing cast tunnel rings, which threw up several issues, taking some innovative thinking to overcome. We undertook the installation of steel sleeves to permanently open the holes for pipe work installation. These works were carried out during rail possession time. To aid efforts, often a Terex drum cutter was utilised to profile, leaving little impact to the remaining structures. Working around the clock alongside the CJV engineers and the determined miners, we removed the inevitable obstructions, often assisting the Schaffe, a piece of tunnelling equipment, where areas became inaccessible. We provided a 24 hour on-call fitters service for all our equipment, with the backup of stand-by BROKK machines and attachments, to ensure a robust and reactive service for our clients. Working within tight areas where conventional methods could not be used, remote controlled BROKK 160’s initially broke out and removed the remaining basement structure. This enabled piling of 3 No. shafts, one of which, the grout shaft, John F Hunt operators dug out using BROKK’s with clam shell attachments. Works involved breaking, digging and profiling invert and crown advances through the stubborn clay and sprayed concrete lining, to form the many adits and cross passages with BROKK 160’s and 260’s. .

Mayfair Area Guide
Mayfair Area Guide Living in Mayfair • Mayfair encompasses the area situated between Oxford Street, Regent Street, Piccadilly and Park Lane, in the very heart of London’s West End, and adjacent to St James’s and its glorious Royal parks to the south. Overview • For over 300 years, Mayfair and St James’s have provided grand homes, luxury goods and services to the aristocracy. The area is characterised by its splendid period architecture, beautiful shop fronts, leading art galleries, auction houses, wine merchants, cosmopolitan restaurants, 5 star hotels and gentleman’s clubs. Did You Know • Mayfair is named after an annual 15 day long May Fair that took place on the site that is now Shepherd Market, from 1686 until 1764. • There is a disused tube station on Down Street that used to serve the Piccadilly line. It was closed in 1932 and was later used by Winston Churchill as an underground bunker during the Second World War. • No. 50 Berkeley Square is said to be the most haunted house in London, so much so that it will give any psychic an electric shock if they touch the external brickwork. • Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was born in a house on Bruton Street and lived in Mayfair during her infancy. Her future husband Prince Philip had his stag night at The Dorchester. • The oldest outdoor statue in London is located above the entrance of Sotheby’s on New Bond Street. The Ancient Egyptian effigy of the lion-goddess Sekmet is carved from black igneous rock and dates to around 1320 BC.
