Insights into Infrastructure and the Built Environment

SCS Railways (Skanska Costain STRABAG Joint Venture)

The Skanska Costain STRABAG (SCS Railways JV) and Skanska Constain (CSJV) are delivering both HS2 Enabling and the HS2 Main Civils Contracts which covers 26.8 km from Euston in the London Borough of Camden all the way to Ickenham in the London Borough of Hillingdon. Scope of works includes twin-bored tunnels (TBM), bridge demolition and reconstruction, services diversions, earthworks plus much more!

How does it all come together? How is a tunnel designed and constructed? What machines are used in demolition? What careers and pathways are available into infrastructure?

For 5 interactive days we will offer you the opportunity to jump on board and fast track your experience to understand more about Europe`s largest infrastructure project in 100 years!Through a series of masterclasses, webinars, and collaborative activities, you will have the chance to indulge in practical scenarios and enhance your knowledge across various areas.
