Wrightstyle has been appointed to work on a sixth Crossrail station.
The contract at Paddington station will see the company fabricate bonded doors and blast-rated screens for Craft Interior.
Devizes-based Wrightstyle is also supplying a range of blast and fire-rated doors, screens and curtain walling to Bond Street, Farringdon, Liverpool Street, Whitechapel and Woolwich stations on what will become the Elizabeth Line.
The line is expected to fully open at the end of 2018 and will increase London’s rail capacity by 10% when it is fully operational.
The £14.8 billion Elizabeth Line will have 40 stations, including ten new stations, with up to 24 trains running each hour in both directions on its 100km route.
“Crossrail is the largest construction project in Europe and our appointment to a sixth station underlines how designers are building in the highest-possible levels of safety,” said John Woodcock, contracts manager at Wrightstyle.
“We have worldwide experience in the sector, and our international testing regime provides absolute assurance on the strength and compatibility of both our glazed and framing components,” he said.
