Case study overview
Introduction
Responsible for the Barking Riverside London Overground extension, Morgan Sindall Infrastructure and VolkerFitzpatrick joint venture (MSVF) needed to deliver a 1.5-kilometre viaduct, terminus station and a new railway line, as well as modify and realign existing Network Rail operational infrastructure.
With a tight build schedule, MSVF contracted Sensat from 2020 to 2023 to create a collaborative ‘digital twin’ of the Barking Riverside London Overground extension. The team accessed monthly progress updates of the site to better understand the project’s constraints and empower decision certainty.
