EDGCOTE VIADUCT, High Speed London - Birmingham

Key facts

Viaduct in the Cherwell Valley, measuring 515 metres in length. It is one of the first applications within the UK’s High-Speed network (HS2) to feature a solution involving a single continuous precast beam beneath each railway track. This innovative design not only reduces concrete volume by approximately 25% compared to the original design but also significantly cuts carbon emissions. This results in a lighter, more sustainable solution that integrates seamlessly into the surrounding environment.

Additionally, this approach accelerates the construction process, enhances quality and optimises construction costs.
