£250m HS2 work package puts firms on alert
High Speed Two (HS2) Ltd has placed ground investigation firms on alert for a £250m package of work for phase two of the project, north of Birmingham.
HS2 is planning to brief firms about the package in a webinar on July 9th ahead of inviting tenders for a chief ground investigation partner and several contractors.
The work is expected to be split into packages covering four main sections:
- Crewe to Manchester
- Birmingham (Rugeley) to Crewe
- Lichfield to Sheffield
- Sheffield to Leeds
A formal invitation to tender will be issued in January 2021.
The work could run for eight years and will give geotechnical and geo-environmental risk assessments necessary for the planning and design submissions.
Firms have until July 3rd to register their interest for the webinar. Click here to register.
