Ferrovial has secured its largest ever UK construction contract since first entering the national market over 20 year ago.
The three contracts to design and build the track infrastructure for the HS2 high speed rail project were awarded through Ferrovial’s construction business, and as part of its joint venture with BAM.
The track systems contracts to be awarded to Ferrovial BAM are part of a wider set of rail systems contracts announced by HS2 Ltd in November, worth a combined total of around £3bn.
The exact value of the work to be delivered by Ferrovial BAM will be confirmed once contracts are signed, the company said.
This latest award adds to the portfolio of critical infrastructure projects that Ferrovial and BAM have partnered on over the last 14 years.
Through the joint venture, Ferrovial and BAM, will deliver three sections between Old Oak Common and Birmingham Curzon Street station, totalling 140 miles of the high-speed route. The contract includes the design and installation of approximately 280 miles of track capable of speeds up to 225mph (360km/h).
The joint venture will also act as the principal contractor for track-related works, overseeing logistics and supporting the testing and commissioning phase.
