Balfour Beatty VINCI SYSTRA joint venture awarded HS2 construction management contract for £1 billion ($1.3 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.
On completion, Old Oak Common station will become the United Kingdom’s best-connected station, providing direct services to three major airports, eight of Britain’s 10 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 United Kingdom.
At construction peak, the project will employ a direct management team of 140 and a wider workforce of approximately 2,500.
