The 2.1-mile-long deck of the Colne Valley Viaduct is complete, marking another major milestone for the project 😮✅! Building work on the viaduct’s deck began in May 2022. Over the following 28 months a dedicated team of highly skilled engineers used a massive launching girder to lower into place the bridge’s 1,000 uniquely shaped deck segments. The gently curved 3.4 kilometre (2.1 mile) long structure on London’s north-western edge stretches across the Colne Valley between the M25 motorway and the town of Denham. It will carry high speed trains running to and from the capital at speeds of up to 200mph.

Production of concrete segments used to construct our Northolt Tunnel have been completed 🤩. PACADAR U.K. LIMITED, based in Kent, have produced 59,129 concrete segments which make up 8,447 tunnel rings – seven segments per ring. Each segment weighs 7 tonnes on average and 130 precast segments have been produced daily. The segments have been transported to our site by rail, with each giant freight train negating the need for 56 lorries on the road ✅.

We've completed our first viaduct 😮 🎥👇. The 163m long Highfurlong Brook Viaduct, near the village of Aston le Walls, is one of more than 50 being built as part of the new rail project. Consisting of seven spans, the viaduct crosses Highfurlong Brook’s floodplain at a height of around 9m. Each span is made up of four beams weighing up to 56 tonnes, which were lifted into position last year to form the backbone of the structure. Each of the beams – which are up to 25m long - were manufactured off site before being delivered over night to reduce disruption for local road users. The deck – which will support the track and electrical systems – was poured in situ earlier this year, with the parapets along either side manufactured off site and installed over the last four months.

The Bromford Tunnel hits the halfway point! 🤩 The first of two giant tunnelling machines 'Mary Ann' has excavated and built 1.75 miles of the 3.5-mile-long tunnel between Water Orton and Washwood Heath in Birmingham. In preparation for the arrival of the TBMs at Washwood Heath, a huge earthworks operation has been completed to build the tunnel’s west portal, which at 22 metres below ground is the deepest of the four tunnel portals on the Midlands section of the HS2 route. HS2 trains will emerge from the Bromford Tunnel and travel below ground level, before raising up onto a series of viaducts through Birmingham’s industrial heartland and into Curzon Street Station.
