Foundations for HS2’s Old Oak Common station in Acton have been completed which will see six platforms on the site to be used for high-speed trains going to central London and the West Midlands.
The station is being built by Balfour Beatty Vinci SYSTRA joint venture (BBVS).
HS2’s project client for Old Oak Common, Peter Gow, said on the milestone: “Completing the base slab of the underground station box is a key milestone in building HS2’s new super hub station in West London. This is the final stage in completing the foundations for the high-speed station, and will be where HS2 tracks are laid, platforms are constructed and the station building and roof and built above.
“At Old Oak Common we are making significant progress in building this state of the art, environmentally friendly, transport hub which will be a key part of the HS2 route.”
