🚧 Big news from the rail construction industry! Progress is being made on the construction of the landmark HS2 viaduct that will bring high-speed trains to the new Curzon Street station in Birmingham. 🔎 The completed sections mark a significant step forward in the programme to build a series of viaducts carrying the railway through Birmingham's industrial heartland and into the city centre. 🏗️ The monumental task is being undertaken by Balfour Beatty VINCI with a team of over 200 people working tirelessly, they've managed to pour 3,700 cubic metres of concrete to complete sections of the Curzon 3 viaduct. That's no small task! 💡 Now, it's not just about the technical aspects. This project is not only promoting connectivity but also redefining public spaces and the city's skyline. The V-shaped piers maximise daylight underneath, creating usable public space and adding to the vibrancy of the city. 🤔 This poses a few questions: - How can this model of construction benefit other cities? - How is the rail industry evolving to better serve communities? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below! #constructionnews #deployrecruit #railwayconstruction #infrastructure [Source: Rail Technology Magazine]

🚄 Balfour Beatty VINCI 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗛𝗦𝟮 𝗡𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱! In a remarkable feat of engineering, Balfour Beatty VINCI has achieved a ground-breaking milestone for Britain's high-speed future with the completion of a massive bridge construction near Lichfield. 🛤️ Let's dive into the incredible details of this achievement: 🔨 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁: Over a span of 10 weeks, more than 150 dedicated individuals from 18 different supply chain companies joined forces to carry out an awe-inspiring construction operation. 💪 🏗️ 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Imagine moving a colossal 2,600-tonne bridge deck 130 meters into place beneath the South Staffordshire railway! That's exactly what happened in Streethay near Lichfield. This Herculean task was executed flawlessly using the latest low-carbon design techniques, showcasing the commitment to sustainable infrastructure. 🌍 🌉 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝗽: The 25-meter-long and 18-meter-wide Streethay overbridge is a game-changer. It's a key component of HS2's Streethay cutting, allowing high-speed trains to travel beneath the existing railway that connects Birmingham and Crewe. What's more, through ingenious design, engineers managed to reduce wall structures by a whopping 80%, saving around 420,000 tonnes of carbon emissions! 🌱 🏁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀: The finishing touches were nothing short of a masterpiece. The bridge deck, meticulously cast adjacent to the railway, was moved into position using self-propelled modular transporters. The railway tracks were reinstated, and the line was handed back to Network Rail, marking the successful completion of this ground-breaking project. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁? This milestone sets the stage for future progress. The area is now poised for the construction of two HS2 overbridges that will elegantly pass under the A38. #HS2BridgeMilestone #SustainableInfrastructure #Engineering #HS2 #Construction #BalfourBeatty

Exciting News in the Construction Sector! 🏗️ The latest Rider Levett Bucknall Crane (RLB) Index reveals remarkable growth in the Australian construction industry. 🇦🇺 In 2022, total construction activity increased by 1.8%, reaching $3.9 billion more than in 2021, as reported by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. 📈 And the momentum continues!
