Tony Gee Special Projects is currently handling is the analysis of construction effects on the Grade I listed structures of St Pancras Station, London. Forming the new terminus of the CTRL, this super-hub station has undergone radical developments during the past five years. Contractor CORBER working on behalf of Union Railways (North) Ltd has successfully completed much of the works, including major platform extensions, upgrade and refurbishment of existing infrastructure, and the construction of a 350 metre long buried box structure housing the new Thameslink station.

Such developments in the vicinity of the high profile Victorian train shed and other historic structures have raised concerns as to the stresses and effects likely to be generated in the existing wrought iron and masonry fabric. Tony Gee Special Projects has performed extensive FE modelling and, in conjunction with the project stakeholders, have researched and established a set of permissible stress and deflection criteria to safeguard the structural integrity throughout the entire construction process. To date, all monitored data has confirmed the behaviour of the structures to be within the limits established in the analysis.
