Sweett Group plc("Sweett Group")

Sweett Group appointed on Thameslink Programme

Sweett Group, the global provider of professional services for the construction and management of building and infrastructure projects, has been re-appointed to provide commercial management and estimating services to Network Rail on the Government-sponsored £6.5bn Thameslink Programme.

The Thameslink Programme is a flagship investment by Network Rail, creating a greatly enhanced north south rail between Brighton and Bedford, running through the heart of Central London. The enhanced services provide a combination of new and longer trains, increased service frequency and improved connectivity with other modes of transport such as London Underground and other means of transportation.

In 2006, Sweett Group was engaged by Network Rail to provide support to their programme and project teams in the form of pre and some post contract commercial management services. For the newly awarded four-year commission, Sweett Group will be one of several organisations who will be appointed to continue the provision of this support on the delivery of a number of schemes.

Such schemes will include the remodelling of the operational infrastructure in the area of London Bridge between Waterloo East, Blackfriars Junction and New Cross, New Cross Gate station and South Bermondsey station; rebuilding of London Bridge Station to cater for the expected passenger growth and the increased train service; infrastructure changes in the outer areas on the Peterborough, Cambridge, and Sussex routes to allow for the introduction of 12 car trains and an increased train service; introduction of Automatic Train Operation (ATO) between St. Pancras and London Bridge.
