Project Owner:
HS2 is a new high-speed rail line that will be the backbone of the UK’s rail network. Phase One of this project will connect London to Birmingham by between 2029-2033.
In April 2020 BBV JV (comprising Balfour Beatty Group Ltd, VINCI Construction Grands Projets, VINCI Construction UK Ltd, VINCI Construction Terrassement) was awarded Contracts N1 and N2 of the High Speed II project. Contracts N1 and N2 spans around 90km of HS2 Phase I, and includes the construction of:-
- 90km of track
- 11km of viaducts
- 62 overbridges
- 28 underbridges
- 62 embankments
- 34 cuttings
- 11 underpasses
- 2 tunnels (twin bore)
- 2 tunnels (cut and cover)
Understandably, such a large project, with multiple interfaces and the risk of impacting the operation of existing adjacent infrastructure, would require a complex instrumentation and monitoring solution to manage construction related risk.
In 2022, Sixense, in joint venture with Murphy Geospatial Services, were awarded the construction monitoring package for the project.
