"Crossrail" -- Building the £15B Elizabeth Line: Digitally Digging a New Metro Beneath London's Skyscrapers
Simon Bennett and Daniel Irwin
Crossrail, Ltd

Crossrail is a major project to link commuter rail services to the east and west of London through a new tunneled section under central London with 10 new stations providing interchange with the existing London Underground.

The construction and fit out of the railway have presented significant challenges due to the complexity of construction in an urban environment and of integrating rail systems on an unprecedented scale.

Crossrail set out to manage design and construction using digital building information management tools and has learned lessons of value to future projects of a similar scale and complexity.
