We were selected as a key supplier to install temporary structures on a heavily regulated and complex HS2 construction site in the centre of Birmingham adjacent to the main Network Rail line. The purpose was to provide weather protection and screening for a team of archaeologists to exhume and clear a graveyard that dated back to the 13th Century.
High Speed 2 (HS2) is a new planned high-speed railway in the United Kingdom helping to bridge the north-south divide. 345 miles of new high-speed track will connect the city centres of London, Birmingham, Manchester, and Leeds.
Before they begin the work of building bridges, tunnels, tracks and stations, the largest archaeology programme ever undertaken in the UK will take place along the line of route. Over 1,000 archaeologists, bone specialists, scientists and conservators will be working on the sites until 2020.
