QTS is perfectly positioned to deliver reactive works across the UK rail infrastructure. During the Christmas period, our civils team in the North West & Central region was able to call upon our electrification business, REL, to assist at Four Ashes in Northampton following an overhead line failure on the RSB3. The civils team took a call from the client and were mobilised on site in two hours. REL were engaged and had their specialist engineers on site within four hours. A possession time was agreed and within two hours from taking the isolation, the engineers had worked to fix the fault and had the line reopened to allow the safe passage of trains. A great example of team working across the QTS Group, delivering fast and efficient results for the client.

𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨 🎥 Radius Group was proud to support Balfour Beatty plc and Mace Dragados SA in delivering and positioning new equipment for the Traction Substation (TSS) at the HS2 site in Euston. This new facility replaces the original substation, built in 1907, with a modern infrastructure designed to support the Northern Line and the wider rail network. 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰: ✅A 20m-deep excavation was completed to house the new substation, featuring three underground and four above-ground storeys. ⚡The TSS will convert electrical power for the rail system and support ventilation services for the Northern Line. 🚇A 90-metre tunnel will connect the substation to the London Underground, ensuring efficient integration. ➡️Historic features from the original substation will be preserved for heritage displays. In the video, you can see our team carefully delivering auxiliary transformers to one of the upper levels, showcasing the use of advanced plant handling and lifting techniques to meet the unique challenges of this project. We’re proud to be part of such a significant development in the HS2 project, helping to ensure safe and efficient rail operations for the future. #HS2 #euston #rail #infrastructure #plantinstallations #liftandshift #planthandling #substation Samuel Lawrence Neil Clifford Aaron Dunne Andrew Wakefield Tony Betts Alex Potticary Kris Wallace Damian Wolowski Anthony Mitson
