This steel variant was made specially to blend in with the surrounding scenery.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Reducing concrete and steel at the Wendover Dean Viaduct<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Located in Buckinghamshire, just south of Wendover village, the 450-meter-long viaduct is set to become the pioneering railway bridge in the UK, featuring a unique &#8216;double composite&#8217; structure. This design reduces carbon-intensive concrete and steel, setting it apart from conventional construction approaches.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">EKFB, the primary works contractor for HS2 Ltd, comprising Eiffage, Kier, Ferrovial Construction, and BAM Nuttall, will assemble the beams over the summer. The beams will be integrated into the initial 90-meter-long span, one of five spans planned for the viaduct. Once complete, these spans will be carefully moved onto the viaduct piers later this year.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cIt\u2019s great to see the first beams arrive on site. These huge pieces of steel will play a vital role in the innovative double composite structure of the viaduct deck \u2013 and help us <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction-news\/construction-software-news\/optistruct-cuts-time-embedded-carbon-across-hs2\/128909\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cut the amount of embedded carbon in the structure<\/a>,\u201d said HS2 project client, Neil Winterburn.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cAs well as offering zero-carbon rail travel from day one, it\u2019s also important that we reduce the amount of carbon-intensive steel and concrete we use in construction. That\u2019s why this viaduct, and this structural design, is so important,\u201d he continued.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">EKFB developed the double composite methodology with ASC and architects from Moxon. The method drew inspiration from the structures used in the renowned French high-speed TGV network. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>A new approach to viaduct construction<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Unlike the conventional approach of using solid pre-stressed concrete beams to build the bridge spans, the Wendover Dean Viaduct will incorporate two steel beams within layers of reinforced concrete, resulting in a robust yet lightweight hollow span.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The spans will be assembled on-site, with pre-cast concrete sections integrated to form the distinctive box-shaped structure. These assembled sections will be gradually pushed outward from the northern abutment onto the corresponding concrete piers.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThere&#8217;s been a tremendous amount of effort put in to get to this stage of construction, including an extensive earthworks and utilities programme and beam delivery is a key milestone for the team,\u201d said EKFB\u2019s senior engineer James Collings.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cAs momentum gathers pace and we continue our preparations for the bridge deck launch, it\u2019s great to see these steels on site, ready for the next phase of the build. We\u2019re starting to see the viaduct emerge from its foundations and start to take shape above ground,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Construction has begun on the towering piers that will support the viaduct&#8217;s deck. These piers consist of stacked hollow pre-cast concrete shells filled with concrete and steel reinforcement. This approach ensures a clean external finish, reduces on-site work, and minimises disruption for locals.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">HS2 will improve travel by linking London, Birmingham, and the North, freeing up space for more freight and local services. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/hs2-aylesbury-freight-trains-construction-carbon-emissions\/107022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The trains will be powered by zero-carbon electricity<\/a> and able to accommodate up to 1,100 passengers.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first of 38 steel beams that will be used to build the low-carbon structure of HS2\u2019s Wendover Dean Viaduct has arrived on site ahead of the start of deck construction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[308],"tags":[473,93645,465],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-129194","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-plant-equipment-supplies-news","7":"tag-hs2","8":"tag-net-zero","9":"tag-sustainable-construction"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Steel beams arrive at HS2&#039;s low-carbon Wendover Dean Viaduct\u00a0\u00a0<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"First of 38 low-carbon steel beams for HS2&#039;s Wendover Dean Viaduct arrived on-site, traveling 560 miles from France\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/plant-equipment-supplies-news\/steel-beams-arrive-hs2s-low-carbon-wendover-dean-viaduct\/129194\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Steel beams arrive at HS2&#039;s low-carbon Wendover Dean Viaduct\u00a0\u00a0\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The first of 38 steel beams that will be used to build the low-carbon structure of HS2\u2019s Wendover Dean Viaduct has arrived on site ahead of the start of deck construction.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/plant-equipment-supplies-news\/steel-beams-arrive-hs2s-low-carbon-wendover-dean-viaduct\/129194\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
