Momentum Transport Consultancy is supporting the delivery of HS2, working with the Mace Dragados Joint Venture on the development of Euston Station.
As the main HS2 terminus, Euston is being modernised to include the addition of ten new platforms, which will enable up to 18 trains an hour travelling north from London. Capacity at Euston will more than double, while freeing up space on the west coast mainline for more freight and local and long-distance services. The scheme also includes improvements to the urban realm and will integrate elements of the station with the surrounding communities.
As part of the project, Momentum is providing the following services:
Detailed highway design: the services required – from inception to construction – to create, modify and regenerate public and private highway and urban realm infrastructure. This includes advising on phasing strategies and coordination with multiple design teams.
Feasibility testing: assessing options to provide optimal arrangements during construction that are safe and efficient.
Traffic management services: Liaising with local authorities and stakeholders to develop comprehensive and detailed traffic management plans. These plans facilitate strategic highway solutions to help reduce major disruptions in congested areas due to active construction sites, always addressing the necessary safety measures.
Derek Griffiths, director and engineering team lead at Momentum said: “The transformation of Euston is set to have many positive impacts, including the creation of new jobs and wider network improvements. We’re proud to be working with the Mace Dragados Joint Venture to help deliver this project.”
