Balfour Beatty VINCI – High Speed 2

Equib was engaged by the Balfour Beatty VINCI (BBV) joint venture working on High Speed 2 (HS2) to provide on-going risk management services to the project during Stage One (Early Contractor Involvement) and Stage Two (Detailed Design & Construction).

Project:

HS2 is a new high-speed railway that will form the backbone of Britain's transport network. It is Europe’s largest project of its kind.

Phase One of HS2 will see a new high speed railway line constructed from London to the West Midlands, where it will re-join the existing West Coast Mainline. It will connect major cities, businesses, industries and 30 million people, reducing travel time from London to the North.

BBV is responsible for designing and building the West Midlands section of HS2’s Phase One route, spanning approximately 90km from Long Itchington in Warwickshire to the centre of Birmingham and on to Handsacre in Staffordshire. 

Services:

Equib was commissioned to provide risk management services to the project including quantitative cost and schedule risk analysis, implementation of risk processes, and on-going delivery of risk management.
