2400 GRC FINS AND FACADE PANELS WITH HIGH AESTHETIC STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS.
For the new Paddington station, mbX has made the façade elements. In total, the Vent shaft house has approximately 2200 GRC fins, 140 GRC panels, and 21 Conical Surrounds. Within 90 working days, all the needed GRC elements were produced.
A New line for London
The Elizabeth line will stretch more than 60 miles from Reading and Heathrow in the west through central tunnels across to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east. The new railway – currently being built by Crossrail Ltd – will stop at 41 accessible stations, 10 newly built and 30 newly upgraded. Just like Farringdon station, Paddington Station is one of the newly built stations. Previously, mbX produced the double-curved GRC facade elements for the new Farringdon Station.
