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.

Three firms have been picked by National Highways to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into trials of how to mitigate the disruption caused by roadworks.

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

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.

A further £15M cost hike is expected on plans build new Willenhall and Darlaston stations in the Black Country due to complications in changing contractor from the failed Buckingham Group to Kier.

Low carbon fencing materials and smart fibre reinforced plastic bridge beams are among the innovations to progress to the final stage of National Highways’ Accelerating Low Carbon Innovation programme.

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.

Kier is set to take on the troubled Birmingham roads maintenance contract under a £2.7bn private finance initiative.

October saw a flurry of senior appointments around the civil engineering sector at the likes of the National Infrastructure Commission, EKFB and Pick Everard.
