HS2 C1 ALIGN JV - Pre Construction Condition Surveys

The pre-condition survey package comprises the inspection and survey of a number of buildings owned by third parties mostly private homeowners. The purpose of the surveys is to establish a baseline condition prior to tunnelling to protect Align, HS2 and the building owner against any costs associated with repairs due to damage associated with the tunnelling. The package will be competitively tendered and assessed against a split between commercial (price) and non-commercial/technical criteria - The intention of the Contractor that these works will be tendered as 1 enquiry, however we reserve the right to split the works and award the package to more than 1 sub-contractor. In July 2017, ALIGN (Bouygues Travaux Publics, Sir Robert McAlpine and Volker Fitzpatrick) won the significant C1 package of the UK High Speed 2 line (HS2). Lot C1 consists of 21.6km of high speed rail infrastructure in a rural environment. This will include a 3.37km viaduct, 15.75km twin-tubes tunnel and five vent shafts handling both piston effect and tunnel ventilation.
