New Video! 🎥 Discover the impressive Rykneld Street Overbridge, measuring 90.5 meters in length and the final bridge to be constructed at Streethay in Lichfield, Staffordshire. In preparation for the start of piling, Balfour Beatty VINCI, and National Highways have successfully built a temporary 320-metre stretch of the A38, which is now in operation. Once piling has been completed and the bridge deck is installed in late 2025, the realigned section of the road will be moved back to its original position where piling is now taking place – allowing space for the high-speed railway to pass underneath.

1️⃣ We’re wrapping up the first week of our Safety Step Up programme, led by HS2 (High Speed Two) Ltd. Why is everyone at Skanska Costain STRABAG Joint Venture taking part in Safety Step Up? Because no matter where we are in the supply chain, or whether we work day shift or night shift, every single one of us is responsible for safety. We all have a duty to Step Up. This week, at each of our 23 sites, everyone engaged in the programme-wide safety conversation. We spoke candidly about our individual and shared efforts to improve safety and prevent harm. We discussed the risks of hazardous energy and working from height. We talked openly about the new health and safety challenges we face as the project enters the next phase. Above all, we listened to and learned from each other on how we make our shared workplaces safer and healthier. This week also saw the launch of our dedicated SCS Hazard School - take a look 👇🏼 Next week, we'll continue our Safety Step Up, and focus on two key risk areas: Plant People interface and lifting.

With extreme weather on the rise, rail disruptions are becoming more frequent. Did you know HS2 is engineered to be the most flood-resilient railway in the UK? Our future-proofed and dedicated line will provide an alternative for passengers when extreme weather hits the network. 🌪️⛈️🚄 #HS2 #RailResilience #HighSpeedRail

Fantastic to see the important programme of safety conversations that are taking place across the project👏, helping to drive positive change and continual improvement in workplace Health and Safety standards, not just at HS2🚄 but across the wider industry 👷♂️. #HealthAndSafety #Construction #Engineering

Foundation works have started on a new bridge that will take the high-speed🚄 line under a major A road on the outskirts of Lichfield, Staffordshire.     At 90.5 metres in length, the Rykneld Street bridge is the last of three retaining structures to be built at Streethay and contained within a 455-metre-long cutting through the ground. The trio of bridges, which also includes the A38 Southbound Slip Overbridge and the Streethay Overbridge, will enable the HS2 line to pass under the A38, its slip lanes and the existing South Staffordshire freight railway.     Find out more: https://gloo.to/F5EC      #Bridge #HS2 #HighSpeedRail Balfour Beatty VINCI

Our team at Kingsbury pre-cast yard have now produced more than half of the segments needed for the precast segmental viaducts in #HS2’s Delta Junction 🎉. In total, 2,742 segments will be made at this site. A huge congratulations to everyone involved! 🥳 #Viaducts #HS2 #HighSpeedRail Balfour Beatty VINCI

New Video 🎥     We've started assembling the half-kilometre-long Edgcote viaduct, which is set to become the second viaduct in the UK to have all its major structural elements manufactured off-site. This will help speed up construction, boost efficiency, and reduce the number of lorry movements on local roads.     Set low into the landscape of West Northamptonshire, the 515m-long viaduct will carry the railway across the floodplain of the River Cherwell, south of Chipping Warden.      Watch now 👉 https://lnkd.in/e3EuPH-h     #Viaduct #Northamptonshire #HS2  Eiffage Kier Ferrovial BAM (EKFB)
