HS2 BBV JV Civils

Keltbray delivered a programme of major civil engineering works across the HS2 route in the West Midlands, supporting the construction of critical infrastructure for the UK's new high-speed railway.

Working for Balfour Beatty VINCI JV, the scope encompassed large-scale earthworks, drainage infrastructure, highway construction and ground engineering activities. The works included the delivery of the Crackley Wood Cutting and the A429 site access infrastructure, providing essential construction platforms, transport links and supporting infrastructure required for the wider HS2 programme.

Through the integration of earthworks, material reuse, drainage systems and highway construction, Keltbray successfully delivered key enabling infrastructure that supported the progression of one of the UK's largest and most significant transport infrastructure projects.

Key Facts:

• Major civil engineering works delivered across the HS2 route: Keltbray completed a comprehensive package of earthworks, drainage, highways and ground engineering works, creating critical infrastructure required to support the construction of the HS2 railway.
