🎯 We've passed the halfway mark on Northolt Tunnel! Our four tunnel boring machines, named Sushila, Caroline, Emily and Anne, have now successfully completed over 8.4 miles (13.5km) of tunnelling, half of the total distance for the twin-bore tunnel. Each TBM operates like an underground factory, moving forward at an average rate of 16 metres per day and have collectively excavated nearly 2 million tonnes of earth - so far! 🗺 Stretching from West Ruislip to Old Oak Common, Northolt is the second longest tunnel on the HS2 (High Speed Two) Ltd network. 🚩 The quartet of TBMs will break through at Green Park Way in Greenford. Sushila, launched in October 2022, is in the lead to arrive first. 5️⃣ Along the Northolt route, we're also building five shafts and headhouses to provide ventilation systems. 👋🏼 Meet Brad and Rob, who explain the Skanska Costain STRABAG Joint Venture engineering excellence, teamwork and unstoppable momentum behind this big milestone. https://lnkd.in/eVZsQFWT
Our Northolt Tunnel underneath London is 50% complete 🤩✅. Four tunnel boring machines are being used the complete the tunnel that will carry high-speed trains between our super-hub station at Old Oak Common, west London, and the outskirts of the capital at West Ruislip. The machines will excavate 16.8 miles of tunnel overall making it the second longest tunnel on the new railway after one recently excavated beneath the Chiltern Hills. Combined, the four machines have now travelled over 8.4 miles – half of the total distance for the twin-bored tunnel. The completion of each tunnel drive will be staggered as they reach the final destination at Green Park Way, with the first TBM, Sushila, arriving later this year.

An amazing triumph!! 👏🏼 👏👏🏾 Across three years, through rain, sleet, snow and sun, the team building HS2 (High Speed Two) Ltd’s Old Oak Common station have weathered it all and have now successfully completed excavation of the huge underground structure. 👷🏻♀️👷♂️👷🏿 Congratulations to all involved, especially our neighbours at Balfour Beatty VINCI SYSTRA Joint Venture. Get the full story, and meet Miguel, one of over 1500 apprentices on track for a high-speed future ⬇️
The excavation of our Old Oak Common station box is complete ✅ 🎉. Completed by our 1500th apprentice, Miguel👷, the vast structure which took 3 years to complete and is big enough to accommodate the equivalent of 300 Olympic sized swimming pools. The excavation was completed section by section within the box starting from the west and the east of the structure and meeting in the middle. The box is 20m in depth and a reinforced concrete base slab up to 2m in depth is being poured throughout. 32,000 tonnes of steel rebar, assembled by hand on site, has been used in the box alongside 160 reinforced concrete columns which have been installed inside the outer wall to help support the structure. All steel used was 100% responsibly sourced and most of the concrete used is produced by the London Concrete batching plant on site, which reuses rainwater in its mixes. Now the box has been full excavated, the team will be working to pour the final sections of base slab to fully complete the box.
