JSM delivered this complex project in its entirety including surveys, redesign, construction, fibre installation and testing. The route was approximately 130m long and travelled through 4 London Boroughs, as well as, the districts of Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Slough Borough Council. It also crossed a number of structures and land belonging to CRT, Network Rail, LUL and TfL, requiring extensive stakeholder management and negotiations to obtain the required permits and licences to cross their properties and structures. Due to its length, the route was divided into 9 spans to optimise the programming and delivery of the project. Our planning department surveyed and reviewed the whole route identifying along the route any opportunity for redesigning the route to reduce the delivery timescales, minimise disruption and/ or avoid difficult structures or properties, for example belonging to Network Rail. Key Project Deliverables Civils – trial holes, excavations, backfill reinstatement in verges, footways and carriageways, HDD on some spans of the route, JSM installed 1 new 110mm duct.
