STRABAG Commercial Director Andrew Dixon said: “The required aggregates can be delivered with the necessary flexibility, and the tunnel segments can be transported to the new HS2 logistics terminal near Willesden Junction by rail in an environmentally friendly manner.

“STRABAG’s established regional presence is also an advantage here. Our existing precast factory for the Woodsmith Mine project is not far away.

“This enables us to transfer our know-how to the team at the new Hartlepool facility at an early stage, even before the factory is completed. In the future, over 100 new skilled jobs will be created here.”
