A 2.2km network of conveyors has begun operating in West London and will move over five million tonnes of spoil excavated for the construction of HS2. The use of the conveyor will remove the need for one million lorry movements from roads in West London, reducing traffic congestion in the local area.
HS2’s contractors, Balfour Beatty VINCI SYSTRA joint venture (BBVS JV) and Skanska Costain STRABAG joint venture (SCS JV), have collaborated to construct the network of conveyors which meet at the HS2 Logistics Hub at Willesden Euro Terminal.
The conveyor network has three spurs, serving the Old Oak Common station site, the Victoria Road Crossover box site, the Atlas Road site and then connects to HS2 Logistics Hub .
From the Logistics hub, the spoil will be taken by rail to three destinations across the UK where it will put to beneficial reuse, filling voids which will then be used as a basis for redevelopment, such as house building.
