Cementation Skanska lands £93m HS2 Euston job
Skanska’s HS2 Euston site
Cementation Skanska has been awarded a £93m contract to construct a 1 km-long open-cut retaining box for HS2.
The section will house the tunnels coming into Euston station for the new line. More than 800 piles will be installed for the box section. In addition, around 700 piles will be installed for two new bridges – Hampstead Road Bridge and Granby Terrace Bridge – that will run over the new line. A further 524 piles will be installed for other works around the Euston area.
Cementation was awarded the contract by the Skanska/Costain/Strabag joint venture, which is delivering the £1.8bn S1 and S2 sections that run from HS2’s Euston station up to the M25.
