Balfour Beatty VINCI SYSTRA
joint venture awarded HS2 construction management contract for c.
£1 billion Old Oak Common station
The Balfour Beatty VINCI SYSTRA HS2 joint
venture today announces its formal contract award for the
management of the construction and delivery of HS2’s new c. £1
billion Old Oak Common station.
The joint venture will be responsible for the
final design, construction and commissioning of Old Oak Common
station in North West London, delivering six underground platforms
as well as up to eight platforms on the adjacent Great Western Main
Line.
Balfour Beatty’s in-depth expertise of
constructing critical major transport terminals across the world
will combine with VINCI’s knowledge in constructing high speed
lines and UK rail infrastructure projects, and SYSTRA’s expertise
in designing, integrating and project managing transport
systems.
On completion, Old Oak Common station will
become the UK’s best-connected station, providing direct services
to three major airports, eight of Britain’s ten largest cities and
forming part of one of Britain’s largest regeneration projects
which will help create up to 65,000 jobs and 25,000 new homes in
West London while also dramatically increasing rail capacity across
the UK.
Nigel Russell, Project Director for the Balfour
Beatty VINCI SYSTRA joint venture said: “This award reflects the
combined strength of our joint venture and recognises our
world-class capabilities in designing, managing and delivering
complex infrastructure projects.
“We look forward to applying our expertise to
deliver this critical piece of national infrastructure so essential
to driving the skills agenda, to the rebalancing of the UK economy
and to the enabling of a resilient and competitive construction and
infrastructure industry.”
At construction peak the project will employ a
direct management team of 140 and a wider workforce of
approximately 2,500.
This latest contract award follows Balfour
Beatty VINCI’s appointment in 2017 to deliver Lot N1 and Lot N2 of
HS2’s main civil engineering works package in a two-part design and
build contract, valued at c. £2.5 billion.
