🎉 Today, Wednesday 5 February, Skanska Costain STRABAG Joint Venture state-of-the-art Logistics Hub, celebrated a new milestone. Located in West London, the 24-hour operational site at Willesden Euroterminal has processed 3 million tonnes of excavated material from the HS2 (High Speed Two) Ltd project. The earth, removed by tunnel boring machines (TBMs), and transported by a network of conveyor belts, is then loaded onto trains, and transported to three disposal sites across the UK. This has seen a total of 2,051 trains so far delivered to these strategic disposal sites, each of which will see the material used for beneficial re-use for supporting housing developments and build wildlife areas for birds, aligning with the project's goals of managing and reusing large quantities of material sustainably. This milestone means we are now over halfway through the Materials by Rail program for spoil removal. This wouldn't have been possible without the hard work of our entire SCS team and partnerships with our supply chain: 🤝GB Railfreight 🤝Freightliner Group Ltd 🤝Cemex 🤝Brett Aggregates 🤝RFS Works and; 🤝 VTG Working collaboratively with our supply chain partners has proven very successful as we continue to deliver industry leading safety and operational performance. Graeme Murray CMILT, Rail Logistics Manager said: “I would like to say the biggest thank you to the Rail Logistics Team and Supply chain who have consistently delivered incredible operational and safety standards throughout the last 3 years. The collaboration and integrity of the whole team has shown what rail freight and construction can achieve by working as a partnership and making best use of digital platforms to monitor performance, record essential data and clearly inform our decision making. With this strong platform, we will continue to deliver at these levels for the remaining 2.6 million tonnes of excavated material to be moved by rail”. #OneTeamSpirit #PassionateAboutExcellence

🎉 SCS team ends 2024 with a Bang! 💥 The entire Skanska Costain STRABAG Joint Venture team is celebrating a can-tastic achievement as we successfully completed a 5-mile tunnelling drive under the capital. Yesterday, our giant Tunnel Boring Machine, Sushila (named after a local schoolteacher) became the first of four to reach the Green Park Way vent shaft breaking through into a special steel reception can to prevent the shaft from filling with water. This complex and innovative engineering operation reflects the expertise and hard work of the many teams involved in the tunnelling programme. Since launching in October 2022, TBM Sushila has: ◾ Excavated over 1.2 million tonnes of earth ◾ Installed 4217 tunnel rings. 🙌 A huge shoutout to every team member who worked 24/7, around the clock, to make this moment possible. Your dedication and hard work have led to HS2 (High Speed Two) Ltd's fourth major breakthrough this year! 👉 Get the full press release - https://lnkd.in/dtN4CtsM #PassionateAboutExcellence #TunnelBreakthrough #OneTeamSpirit
