The Balfour Beatty<\/a> VINCI<\/a> SYSTRA<\/a> HS2 joint venture has been awarded the management of the construction and delivery of HS2\u2019s new \u00a31bn Old Oak Common station<\/h2>\n

The Balfour Beatty VINCI SYSTRA joint venture will be responsible for the final design, construction and commissioning of Old Oak Common station in North West London, delivering six underground platforms as well as up to eight platforms on the adjacent Great Western Main Line.<\/p>\n

On completion, Old Oak Common station aims to become the UK\u2019s best-connected station<\/a>, providing direct services to three major airports, eight of Britain\u2019s ten largest cities and forming part of one of Britain\u2019s largest regeneration projects which will help create up to 65,000 jobs and 25,000 new homes in West London while also dramatically increasing rail capacity across the UK.<\/p>\n

Nigel Russell, project director for the Balfour Beatty VINCI SYSTRA joint venture, said: \u201cThis award reflects the combined strength of our joint venture and recognises our world-class capabilities in designing, managing and delivering complex infrastructure projects<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to applying our expertise to deliver this critical piece of national infrastructure so essential to driving the skills agenda, to the rebalancing of the UK economy and to the enabling of a resilient and competitive construction and infrastructure industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

At construction peak, the Old Oak Common project will employ a direct management team of 140 and a wider workforce of approximately 2,500.<\/p>\n

This latest contract award follows Balfour Beatty VINCI\u2019s appointment in 2017 to deliver Lot N1 and Lot N2 of HS2\u2019s main civil engineering works package in a two-part design and build contract, valued at \u00a32.5bn.<\/p>\n
