Flannery Plant Hire has joined forces with HS2’s construction partner EKFB (a team made up of Eiffage, Kier, Ferrovial Construction and BAM Nuttall), to create a new training centre that can upskill local people ready for jobs on HS2 in as little as two weeks.

HS2 Ltd has launched the fifth Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM), ‘Caroline’, that will be constructing tunnels for the HS2 railway through London. The second launched in the capital, the 2,000 tonnes machine joins ‘Sushila’, that was switched on earlier this month on the same West London site.

HS2 Ltd has been granted Schedule 17 consent by Birmingham City Council for two viaducts which will take the new high speed railway into Curzon Street Station in the city centre.

“I’m going into a tunnel, so I might lose you” likely to be thing of the past on Britain’s new high speed rail network.

HS2 today announced the start of construction at the site of its first innovative ‘green tunnel’, designed to blend the high speed railway into the landscape and reduce disruption for communities.

In a UK-first, an SME graduate of HS2’s Innovation Accelerator programme is harnessing the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and laser-based LiDAR sensors developed by the automotive industry to help design a stress-free passenger experience of the future.

Updated design proposals to create community open spaces, new ecological ponds and wild meadow planting in response to community feedback.

Major milestone moment as giant bridge-building machine begins work on the high speed railway’s first and longest viaduct on the outskirts of London.

HS2 Ltd has reached an agreement with Bruntwood, one of the UK’s leading property providers, to purchase Square One on Travis Street in readiness for construction of Manchester’s brand new high speed railway station.

HS2’s designers and construction contractors have released updated, more environmentally-friendly designs for the Cubbington Area in Warwickshire, reducing the materials and time needed for construction.
