Transcend has been chosen as a partner for the multi-million pound rail development.

The joint venture between construction services companies AECOM, CH2M Hill and Nichols Group, will be responsible for “strategic programme management” worth in the region of £100m, according to the Crossrail company.

The new rail development will link Maidenhead to Heathrow, travelling underground through the city centre between Paddington and East London.
