Morgan Est wins £60 million Croydon cable tunnel contract


Morgan Est, the infrastructure services division of Morgan Sindall, has signed a
£60 million contract with National Grid for the design, build and commission of
a new 10km cable tunnel between Beddington and Rowdown in the London Boroughs of
Sutton and Bromley respectively.


The tunnel has a diameter of three metres and is to house a 400kV cable which
will replace old cables. The use of a tunnel will minimise street work and
disruption to local residents.


It is expected that the work will commence no earlier than August 2006 with the
design work starting immediately. The project is due to be completed in January
2011.


Paul Smith, Chief Executive of Morgan Sindall plc said:

'We are delighted that we have been awarded this contract which comes at a time
when our tunnel work at Heathrow Airport nears a successful completion. We look
forward to working with National Grid whose decision recognises our leading
capability and expertise in the design and construction of tunnels.'
