Concrete Society Award; Civil Engineering 2002

The Channel Tunnel Rail Link involved the aesthetic and design brief for all engineering structures on the project, with over 100 bridges and associated structures. The brief included bespoke designs of major high-speed rail crossings at Kings Cross, Ashford, Ebbsfleet and Rochester, plus generic design strategies for other sections of the route.

The rail link is highly visible as it crosses the Kent countryside adjacent to the busy M20, and therefore it was necessary to design a family of details – in essence, a distinctive brand – which could be applied line-wide to create a strong continuity across the many structures.
