Fisher Street crossover: construction of the secondary lining

The location of Fisher Street site in a busy and lively area of Central London meant it had some constraints which limited the type and extent of certain work activities (location shown in Fig 1). The site is bounded by Fisher Street (to its north), Southampton Row (west), Catton Street (south) and by a UK Power Networks (UKPN) building to its east. Fisher Street was closed to its western end to accommodate the BFK worksite. Catton Street was closed for non-Crossrail construction works. Access for lorries and deliveries was restricted to the eastern entrance through Fisher Street. Besides the physical barriers, some construction activities that generate ground borne noise and vibration were also subjected to time restrictions due to the local residents in the vicinity.
