Birmigham, United Kingdom

High Speed 2 is a UK transport megaproject, and the largest railway investment ever made in England.

In this ambitious project, our client is Balfour Beatty joint venture (English) and Vinci (Francesa) are carrying out the construction of 16 pillars and capitals on the viaduct of the section Curzon Approach, in Birmingham.

In November 2023 we held the first dry fit of this project, here in our facilities, and in October 2024 the last one.

In this short period of one year we have had the pleasure of working in partnership with our valued client BBV, between video conferences and technical visits, here in Portugal or in England, we have always had a very positive exchange of experiences.

We look forward to working with you on new projects. We leave here a record of what this experience was like in the words of the engineer and site manager Suat Okuumus whom we hold in high esteem!
