HS2 has replicated the designs of its Thame Valley viaduct for another viaduct project in Northamtonshire, resulting in a 13% reduction in carbon compared to the previous design.

This year’s New Civil Engineer Tunnelling Awards were held in London last night, 7 December, to celebrate the finest innovations, projects, engineers, contractors and consultants in the sector.

A Northamptonshire viaduct has become the first on the HS2 project to have all its deck beams installed.

Spanish construction giant Ferrovial has announced plans to sell its stake in Heathrow Airport for £2.37bn, having been majority shareholder since 2006.

HS2 contractor EKFB (Eiffage Kier Ferrovial Bam JV) has completed the last section of earthworks that will carry East West Rail (EWR) services over the new high-speed line, near the village of Calvert in Buckinghamshire.

The Albert Embankment cofferdam built out into the River Thames in central London as part of Tideway has been re-flooded – signalling the latest milestone for the £4.5bn super sewer project.

Engineers on High Speed 2 (HS2) have revealed innovations that utilise on-machine technologies to improve earthmoving processes and allow real-time digital concrete testing during transportation.

Residents around the paused High Speed 2 (HS2) London Euston work site are “frustrated and angry” while complaints about construction remain high across the whole of Phase One, according to the independent construction commissioner.

High Speed 2 (HS2) engineers have lifted the first 90t beams into place for the Thame Valley Viaduct, the first major rail viaduct in the UK to have been manufactured off-site.

The £4.5bn Thames Tideway Tunnel super sewer project has reached a milestone with the placement of a concrete lid on the Nine Elms site, the most central on the 25km project.
