Rumble in the bungle

Good news for Scott Wilson.

According to Building magazine:

"Scott Wilson has emerged as the big winner from the latest round of contracts awarded by Crossrail to help design the £16bn London rail scheme."

But what's this?

Can this be the same Scott Wilson that undertook an assessment of noise and vibration prior to the opening of the Stirling-Alloa-Kincardine (SAK) route for Clackmannanshire Council?

An assessment that was subsequently heavily criticised by engineering consultancy Arup, for failing to follow "standard practice".

Hopefully environmental impact assessments won't form part of their new Crossrail work.

UPDATE: This from Dan...

Could that be the same Arup that competes aggressively with Scott Wilson for the same contracts?

The phrase "They would say that, wouldn't they" springs to mind.

Thank you Dan. So Scott Wilson did follow "Standard Practice" then?
