Revealed 👀🎥, the vision for Old Oak Common, our new super-hub station. The new HS2 station will provide connections 🚄 into the heart of London, Heathrow, the West Country, South Wales, the West Midlands, the North of England and Scotland. The station will be the 42nd stop on the Elizabeth Line and will connect into the Great Western Main Line, allowing passengers to transfer onto services to and from the West Country and South Wales. There is over 100 acres of land around the station and the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) is planning a new urban neighbourhood. There are plans to create 25,000 new homes 🏠, and 56,000 new jobs👷 in the area. As part of the new station development, we will create new public parkland, pocket gardens, plant new trees 🌳 and shrubs and a new wetland area, providing places that can be enjoyed by residents, workers and rail users. The next few years are set to be exciting for this area. The future transport connections will drive economic activity, and better infrastructure will transform this part of London into a thriving neighbourhood to be enjoyed by many for generations to come. https://lnkd.in/eJsSJqJM Find out more: https://lnkd.in/e2GUjSvd #HS2 #London #Infrastructure Balfour Beatty VINCI SYSTRA Joint Venture

We are delighted to announce that Mark Wild OBE has been appointed as the new Chief Executive of HS2 Ltd 🎉 As one of the most respected figures in the infrastructure industry, Mark brings almost four decades-worth of experience to the role. This includes an outstanding record in the successful delivery of complex railway systems – the alignment of tracks, train, power, signalling and communications – most notably as the CEO of Crossrail. Mark will join HS2 Ltd at a pivotal moment in the programme’s delivery, with civil engineering works along the route from London to the West Midlands reaching their peak and focus shifting to building the infrastructure to operate the railway. Mark Wild OBE commented: "I look forward to leading HS2 as it progresses from major construction works to its rail systems phase and beyond to the first passenger services. The scale and ambition of HS2 is phenomenal and will deliver wide-reaching benefits for the UK through more jobs, economic growth and better journeys.” Find out more: https://gloo.to/F4tz #HighSpeedRail #HS2 #London #WestMidlands

New video 🎥 🤩 Construction of our pioneering Thame Valley Viaduct has now passed the halfway point, with 44 out of 72 customised pre-cast beams in position, 66 of the 70 piers installed and work well underway on the deck that will support the railway. The viaduct near Aylesbury is one of the longest on the high-speed rail project and a UK-first in terms of the amount of the structure which is being manufactured off-site. Instead of using a more traditional approach, with multiple narrower beams for each span, the design team opted for a simple structural solution with just two larger hollow 20 or 25m u-shaped beams per span.

Behind the scenes at our Washwood Heath portal 🎥👇. The 22-metre portal is the deepest of four tunnel portals on the Midlands section of the route. The first of two, 1,600 tonne tunnelling machines building the tunnel from Water Orton in North Warwickshire will break through the portal wall later this year. #Warwickshire #Birmingham #Midlands Balfour Beatty VINCI Duo Group
