Supporting the Crossrail / Elizabeth Line with Temporary Pipe and Cable Support Solutions

We are proud to contribute to the Crossrail / Elizabeth Line project, one of the UK’s largest and most complex infrastructure programmes. As part of this landmark initiative, Transforge UK Ltd is supplied temporary pipe and cable support systems that ensure safe and efficient installation of essential services throughout the tunnelling process.

The Purpose of the Crossrail / Elizabeth Line

The Elizabeth Line is designed to transform transport in London and the South East, improving connectivity, reducing congestion, and providing faster, more reliable journeys for thousands of passengers daily. Behind the scenes, a network of tunnels carries vital services — including power, communications, and ventilation systems — that must be supported safely during construction.

Our Contribution: Temporary Pipe and Cable Supports

While the tunnel lining is installed and the rail infrastructure is built, temporary supports are essential for keeping pipes and cables secure. Our solutions are designed to:

• Provide Reliable Temporary Support – Safely carry the weight of power cables, communications lines, and auxiliary pipes during installation.
• Enable Quick Installation and Removal – Modular design allows supports to be adjusted or removed as the TBM progresses.
• Maintain Safety Standards – Ensure compliance with strict tunnelling safety regulations while crews work underground.
• Adapt to Construction Progress – Flexible systems that move with the tunnel and evolving project requirements.

Partnering for Safe and Efficient Construction

Our temporary pipe and cable supports help keep the Crossrail project on schedule, providing secure management of essential services throughout the tunnel build. By ensuring safety and reliability during construction, we play a key behind-the-scenes role in bringing this major transport project to life.

Building London’s Transport Infrastructure

The Elizabeth Line represents a major step forward for London’s transport network. We are proud that our temporary support systems help enable this ambitious project, providing the safety and flexibility needed to keep tunnelling operations running smoothly.
