URS/Scott Wilson
Crossrail Farringdon Station
London, United Kingdom
When Crossrail opens in 2017, it will expand London’s public rail transport
network capacity by 10 percent. As lead designer for the Farringdon station,
URS/Scott Wilson is co-located with Crossrail in Greenwich and is responsible
for managing the interface with all stakeholders, including Network Rail,
London Underground, and Westminster City Council.
The Crossrail project has specified Bentley software as the preferred design
platform, using Project Wise for collaboration. The project workflows follow
BS1192 procedures at all stages. Using Project Wise, the team can search,
locate, and validate engineering information 35 percent faster than on previous
projects. URS/Scott Wilson has estimated time savings to date of 62,200 man-hours for cost savings of £ 2. 8 million.

East London Line
London, United Kingdom
North and south extensions will connect the East London Line with existing
rail services to expand the network and prepare for the 2012 Summer Olympic
Games. URS/Scott Wilson provided design services to the joint venture
partners for this project, and its major works included detailed designs for four
stations, two warren truss bridges, a bowstring arch bridge, and three viaducts.
Detailed designs were also provided for numerous smaller projects.
The global team got connected by Project Wise for real-time collaboration.
Project Wise connected more than 300 professionals in 15 offices, enabling
team members to search, locate, and validate engineering information 25
percent faster than on previous projects. Using Project Wise, URS/Scott Wilson
also accelerated information sharing and communications across the team. This
technology will potentially save the client £ 5. 54 million in reduced time costs.
