DRAGADOS UK SELECTS AECOM AS LEAD DESIGNER FOR ELEPHANT & CASTLE STATION AECOM, a US-based infrastructure consulting company, has been chosen by Dragados UK & Ireland as the lead designer for the Elephant & Castle Tube station project in London. AECOM will lead the first stage of the design and construction of new passenger tunnels at the Elephant & Castle station.
