HS2 is the proposed second high speed railway for the UK. It presents an opportunity for a step-change in public transport, relieving congestion on the existing rail and road network, reducing journey times and bringing people closer together, and providing the impetus to rebalance the UK’s economy. The design and construction represents a huge engineering challenge in terms of both scale and complexity, with Phase One (London to Birmingham) scheduled to open in 2026 and with routes to Manchester and Leeds to open in 2033. This presentation will cover a high-level review of the Phase One route and will look at some of the geotechnical challenges on the project including the ground investigation, geodynamics, ground movements, earthworks, slopes, geohazards, foundations and geotechnical data management.
