Arup Mott MacDonald JV
Arup Mott MacDonald JV brings the two design consultancies together for Lower Thames Crossing's Tunnels and Approaches package. The team's work with Morta connects information delivery planning to the requirements behind design components, developed jointly with the contractor.
A shared foundation for design information
The design joint venture is identified in the project's contract data dated January 2024. During the preliminary phase, the designer and contractor teams developed their Morta setup together, agreeing common conventions while retaining their separate CDEs. At the community session, they described working delivery plans and a component catalogue, with direct P6 connections among the next developments.
The team
The designer's contribution combined information requirements, design delivery and the practical experience of people using the system.
Ioan Evans was introduced as Design BIM Lead for AMJV and identified himself as working for Arup. He explained the delivery-plan structure, cross-CDE creation process and component catalogue, including how shared information drove design-software configuration.
