What we are doing
In preparation for the construction of HS2’s Curzon Street Station and the railway, Mace Dragados (MDJV) will be carrying out piling works.
Our planned piling works will establish a stable foundation for the station construction. The works are scheduled to commence in September 2024 and conclude by spring 2025.
We plan to use mobile cranes, piling rigs, and excavation equipment to carry out these works. To reduce disruption on the local road network, we will transport some larger equipment to the site outside our normal working hours. Larger vehicles will be used to minimise the number of vehicles on the roads.
The method of piling that will be employing is known as continuous flight auger piling. One of the main advantages of this method is its minimal noise and vibration emissions, which make it suitable for use near buildings, homes, and environmentally sensitive areas. It is a preferable choice when considering the impact on the surrounding environment.
