HANSOM INTERRUPTED SERVICE

摘要

There were red faces at Bam Nuttall last week, I'm sure, after it emerged that concrete being poured by the contractor as part of the construction of the new Victoria station had leaked into a signal control room for the tube line, flooding the floor. The incident, photos of which were plastered across the internet, led to the suspension of services on the Victoria line. London Underground engineers worked through the night to clear away the concrete and repair the signalling systems in time for the morning commute. The Victoria station project is an exemplar BIM scheme, which just goes to show that there are some risks that even a fully collaborative model can't design out.
