About the session

In 2018 Europe’s largest construction project will reach its completion. Construction of the new railway will add an estimated £42bn to the UK economy having generated enough work for the equivalent of 55,000 full time jobs.

There’ll be 40 Crossrail stations including 10 new station across the capital. Over 200,000 tunnel segments lining the 42km of tunnels. More than 3 million tonnes of excavated material. And one of the most extensive archaeological programmes ever undertaken in the UK.

Innovation was at the very heart of the project. Hear from Strategic Projects Director, John Pelton MBE about the innovative processes and technologies applied across the project. And learn how to deploy your own strategies for innovation.
