About us
TRANSFORMING INFRASTRUCTURE FOR GENERATIONS TO COME Balfour Beatty VINCI is a long established Joint Venture between two global leaders in the delivery of critical infrastructure. We started working together over 30 years ago to deliver the Channel Tunnel as members of the Transmanche Link Consortium. In 2008, we announced our formal alliance with the aim of delivering modern and innovative solutions to the UK's infrastructure needs. Since then, our collaboration has gone from strength to strength. We've successfully bid an delivered a number of key projects for Crossrail and we have recently been awarded part of Highways England Smart Motorways Programme, starting with an 18km stretch of the M5 (J4a to 6). Subject to statutory approval, we will then work on the M6 (J2 to 4) and the M4 (J3 to 12). Balfour Beatty VINCI is a powerhouse for critical infrastructure. Our partnership - between two of the the world's largest construction companies - creates unrivaled expertise and capability across rail, highways and aviation sectors in the UK and beyond.

Another spectacular #HS2 bridge delivered by #BBV 🎉 Here's what Shamus Banaghan, our senior project manager, had to say... 📣 “This bridge is a key structure that will allow HS2 trains to pass underneath the A452 near Balsall Common. Standing almost 14 metres high and 185 metres in length, the scale of this achievement is clear to see." HS2 (High Speed Two) Ltd Galldris Group
We have successfully completed a 185-metre bridge 🎉🤩. The colossal structure is 185 metres in length, 19.5 metres in width and 13.9 metres in height – constructed using 7,200 cubic metres of concrete and 1,800 tonnes of steel. A team of 50 people based on-site celebrated the final installations on the self-contained ‘box’ bridge structure following an 18-month build process. This involved successfully installing 12 parapets, which will act as safety barriers when traffic eventually passes over the bridge. The bridge has been designed to take HS2 under the A452 Kenilworth Road, located near Balsall Common, West Midlands.

Moving a 1,600 tonne bridge over an existing railway in #Birmingham - now that's a video definitely worth watching 👀 🎥 🍿 Find out more about how we manoeuvred this huge bridge into position in just five hours last weekend 👇
In a five-hour operation, the new 1,600 tonne Aston Church Road bridge was moved over existing railway tracks in Birmingham. The 84 metre long and 21 metre wide bridge, was moved over the existing Birmingham to Derby railway line and will also sit above the new HS2 tracks as high speed trains travel in and out of Birmingham. Starting at 10pm on Saturday 10 August, it took five hours for the team to move the bridge into place, reaching its final position at 3am on Sunday morning. The operation was delivered by our main works contractor in the Midlands, Balfour Beatty VINCI and their specialist bridge move contractor Mammoet, during a Network Rail blockade. The railway was handed back to Network Rail five hours earlier than planned 🎉👏. Learn more: https://gloo.to/Febc #Birmingham #Bridge #HS2

We recently welcomed a group of female #graduates from Warwickshire County Council to a #BBV site near Kenilworth, for a full tour and update on how we’re helping to build #HS2 in the #Midlands. The visit was organised to mark #WomeninEngineeringDay, and part of our on-going commitment to encourage more women into the construction industry. Check out some of the pics 👇 HS2 (High Speed Two) Ltd

Construction of #HS2 in the #Midlands reaches another exciting phase... 🏗 🚄 In a UK first, we're using new technology to build viaduct spans that make up our Delta Junction - a triangular section of the line that will enable trains to run between #London, #Birmingham and the #north. HS2 (High Speed Two) Ltd
A giant cantilever structure, used in the UK for the first time, has built the first section of our 472 metre River Tame West Viaducts. The structure has been built, using a 22-metre-high mast, including temporary post-tensioning cable stays and a 14-metre-high swivel crane. The crane lifts and installs one concrete segment into place at a time, eventually completing each 45-metre span length. The permanent post-tensioning tendons are then stressed to allow the removal of the temporary cable stays, leaving the permanent structure securely in place. The same process is repeated between each pier until all the spans are complete. Find out more: https://gloo.to/F8kE #Engineering #Construction #Viaduct Balfour Beatty VINCI

Supporting local communities means a lot to us. That’s why we’re so pleased for the pupils at #TameValleyAcademy in Bromford, who’ll benefit from a brand new ‘forest school’ – built by #BBV volunteers. This new learning facility, built in the school premises, encourages children to learn and develop, through play, activities and exploration in an outdoor environment 🏫 🌳 A big thank you to our supply chain partners too, who also played a big part in delivering this fab project SIG Industries Flannery Plant Hire F, J. MURPHY & SON, INC. We think the photos speak for themselves! HS2 (High Speed Two) Ltd

Another great video from #HS2 this week, showcasing the extraordinary work being delivered by #BBV in the #Midlands 📽 🍿 Watch how we're building a bridge that will carry #HS2 trains over the existing #WestCoastMainLine in #Kenilworth 🚅 👏 Check out the link 👇 for the full story. HS2 (High Speed Two) Ltd
83 giant concrete beams craned onto our Carol Green Underbridge👏. Installed using a 500-tonne crawler crane, the horizontal beams collectively form the deck of the bridge structure. Each beam measures 19 metres in length, with 81 beams weighing 18.1 tonnes and two beams weighing 33 tonnes – a total of 1,532.1 tonnes. On completion, the structure will span over 20 metres, 7.5 metres in height, 91 metres in width and will carry our trains over the existing West Coast Main Line near Kenilworth.

Kicking off Monday with this short but sweet #HS2 video, showing how we recently launched a huge viaduct section across the M42/M6 link roads in #Warwickshire 📽 🛤 HS2 (High Speed Two) Ltd Victor Buyck Steel Construction
Throwback to last weekend when our engineers completed their third bridge push of 2024, moving this huge section of viaduct deck across the M42/M6 link roads in Warwickshire. The successful operation was completed ahead of schedule, and the road opened a full day earlier than planned 👏. #WestMidlands #CivilEngineering #Birmingham Balfour Beatty VINCI

We're making great progress on the "Bellingham Bridge" - a 150-metre-long superstructure which will take #HS2 trains in and out of #Brum. Find out more about how we're building it 👇 Oh and watch the short vid too, our four giant piers look 👌📽
We've completed four huge piers for the 150-metre-long superstructure which will take high-speed trains🚄 in and out of Birmingham 🤩. The bridge, which has been nicknamed “Bellingham Bridge” is the tallest structure in the one mile stretch of connected viaducts being built through the city’s industrial heartland. The deck is being assembled on top of the seven piers of the adjacent Curzon 1 viaduct, with around 130 individual parts lifted by crane. The entire deck and truss structure, which weighs over 4,000 tonnes, will then be slid 190 metres into place onto the Curzon 2 piers using a jacking system. The viaduct includes a unique light installation which will introduce a dynamic colour palette to the apertures of the steel truss, framing views of the city.
