📸 The Skanska Costain STRABAG Joint Venture has reached a key milestone on HS2 (High Speed Two) Ltd, removing the 850-tonne tunnel boring machine, Sushila, from the vent shaft. Sushila was one of the tunnel boring machines used to construct the Northolt Tunnel. She completed her five-mile journey at the end of last year and has excavated more than 1.2 million tonnes of earth and installed 4,217 tunnel rings. HS2 will support a more prosperous, resilient and decarbonised UK, helping to drive economic growth through additional #rail capacity and greener journeys. Well done to all involved for this #engineering feat! 💪 #TransformingPerformance #infrastructure

All our projects help create a sustainable future, but how do you transform soil waste into a valuable resource? Our group environmental director Geraint Rowlands, spoke to Soil Link about reusing materials to support sustainable #construction. Listen below to their conversation that covers: 💡 The importance of early engagement with the planning process to minimise material produced 💡 The advantage of having a well-structured system for identifying opportunities that deliver maximum benefit. 💡 The pivotal role of a circular economy methodology in repurposing and reusing materials. As part of our work on the London Power Tunnels with our customer National Grid, we reused material that would otherwise be classed as waste, with approximately 48,386m3 of spoil diverted from landfill 💪 This also removed 4,838 wagon movements off UK roads 🚛 #SustainableInfrastructure #TransformingPerformance 

Commenting on our FY24 Results, CEO Alex Vaughan said: “I am pleased that we had another good year with adjusted operating profit at the upper end of expectations. We delivered a further increase in operating profit and earnings per share, building on our strong financial performance track record of the past three years. Adjusted operating margin increased significantly, exceeding our target for FY 24, and we remain on track to deliver our margin target for FY 25. “The record growth in forward work position is expected to deliver further progress in FY 25 and FY 26, followed by a step change in FY 27 performance. The quality, balance and better risk profile of our forward work position of £5.4bn across our two divisions, together with continued investment in our chosen markets, gives us growing visibility on future revenue and margin. We continue to deliver improvements and invest in the business, and are increasingly confident in the Group’s growth prospects, with our strong cash position and cash generation enabling the Group to enhance returns to shareholders.” You can watch our results presentation here: https://bit.ly/3DxzxXs #WeAreCostain #Sustainableinfrastructure #TransformingPerformance #ImprovingPeoplesLives

After 10 years of #construction, the 25km Thames Tideway Tunnel is now fully connected, creating a more resilient London by supporting a growing economy and population, and protecting the river from pollution. Costain, as part of a joint venture with VINCI Construction Grands Projets and Bachy Soletanche, has delivered the east region of this amazing project, which is helping to create a sustainable future. 🚍 The main #tunnel is 7.2 metres in diameter (equivalent to three London double-decker buses) 🔦 Abbey Mills Pumping Station in East London has the deepest section at 66 metres 🦸 Six Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) were used in total. In the East, TBM Selina is named after Dr Selina Fox, who founded the Bermondsey Medical Mission in 1904, and TBM Annie is named after Annie Scott Dill Russell, the first female scientist to work at the Greenwich Observatory 🏊 The Tideway London Tunnel has storage capacity of 1.6m cubic metres or around 600 Olympic-size swimming pools. The project is on track to be fully finished (with testing complete) later this year. Thames Water will then operate the system as part of its London wastewater network.
