The Infrastructure Podcast: Episode 166
Guest: Roger Bailey, Chief Technical Officer, Tideway and Tom Kinnear, Director, Amey Advisory
Joining me today are two of the minds behind the delivery of this ground breaking project – Roger Bailey, Chief Technical Officer at Tideway and Amey director Tom Kinnear who has been leading the Systems Integrator role on the project for the last few years.
Lots to talk about because the £4.5 billion tunnel has certainly been turning programme delivery heads as a rare project that has been delivered pretty much on time, to budget and is now operating to expectation.
