The use of CEEQUAL in complex projects

Summary

CEEQUAL has been used as a tool to benchmark overall environmental performance for Crossrail’s tunnels, portals and shafts.  One of the key challenges was the alignment of design packages with the procurement and construction strategy.  This paper focuses on the key issues and provides suggestions on how the process can be simplified.  The paper also addresses the issue of the value of CEEQUAL in driving best practice and overall  improvement on a high profile major infrastructure project that is required to deliver high levels of performance through its minimum environmental requirements and rigorous consenting process.
