The UK’s new high-speed railway

“Skanska Costain Strabag joint venture, is delivering full detailed design and construction of Phase One of the UK’s new high-speed railway in the southern section of the overall High Speed Two (HS2) project.  

 

The Project consists of 2 sections (S1 and S2) with a total of 7 main tunnels excavated with EPB machines.

 

S1 Euston tunnels: Ø: 8,54m    L: 14.336m  🡪 2 TBMs

S1 Atlas road tunnel: Ø: 7,05m    L:      950m  🡪 1 TBM

S2 Northolt tunnels East: Ø: 9,84m    L: 11.024m  🡪 2 TBMs

S2 Northolt tunnels West: Ø: 9,84m    L: 15.751m  🡪 2 TBMs

We can divide the 2 main drives depending on main characteristic grounds: London clay and Lambeth/Chalk.

TNL18 is involved from the very beginning of the Project with soil conditioning, using the foaming agents ACTISOYL 20W, ACTISOYL CC, ACTISOYL 100 and the polymer ACTI+ WW. 

We also were involved in hyperbaric works with cake hardener ACTIEDGE. During the start-up of the TBMs, technical service offered by TNL18 was essential for the good performance of the TBMs.
