JOS Worked with Kier Transportation (formerly Buckingham Group) to develop the programme of works and shuttering design to deliver the capping beam works in 24 weeks through the summer and autumn of 2024. A significant amount of time was spent in advance of the scheme commencing preparing and gaining approval of the temporary works designs and lift plans which allowed the scheme to progress smoothly.
JOS carried out additional works to pre-cast 60 No. kentledge blocks which will ultimately be used as to prop the pre-cast parapets required for all of the HS2 structures in the area. We utilised down time in the programme to carry out these works whilst still maintaining the original programme duration.
Please pass on my thanks to the full team for pushing and getting these pours completed to our tight programme. I know it was a challenge, but your efforts are much appreciated.
