What we are doing
High Speed Two (HS2) is the new high speed railway for Britain. Balfour Beatty and its appointed subcontractors are working on behalf of HS2 Ltd to carry out the next phase of ground investigations work on the western leg of Phase 2b of HS2.
Ground investigations works are being carried out to help us better understand the ground conditions along the route to inform the detailed design of the railway. The ground investigation techniques that will be used on this project will primarily include the drilling of boreholes, trial pits and cone penetration tests.
