Jensen Ventilation has now deliverd 15 000 meter of Ducting to this Metro Project in London.

The Crossrail route will link existing Network Rail services from Maidenhead and Heathrow in the west, and Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east with new underground stations at Paddington, Bond Street, Tottenham Court Road, Farringdon, Liverpool Street and Whitechapel.

A total of 21kms of twin-bore tunnels are required to be constructed to deliver Crossrail.

The five tunnels to be constructed are:
• Royal Oak to Farringdon west (Drive X) - length of drive approximately 6.4 km
• Limmo to Farringdon east (Drive Y) - length of drive approximately 8.3 km
• Pudding Mill Lane to Stepney Green (Drive Z) - length of drive approximately 2.7 km
• Limmo to Victoria Dock Portal (Drive G) - length of drive approximately 0.9 km
• Plumstead to North Woolwich (Drive H) - length of drive approximately 2.6 km

All of this adds up to 42km of bored tunnels located below the busy streets of London.
The tunnels will weave their way between existing underground lines, sewers, utility tunnels and building foundations from station to station at depths of up to 40m.
