A joint venture (JV) between Balfour Beatty and Vinci Construction has appointed Peter Anderson as MD of its High Speed 2 (HS2) JV.
The partnership was shortlisted in December last year.
The three works packages will cover a range of activities such as utility diversions, ecology surveys, archaeology, establishing site compounds, site clearance, demolition, ground remediation, water course activities, highways realignments, monitoring and instrumentation, structural reinforcements and drainage.
The JV will be invited to tender for the contracts in the Spring.
As MD, Mr Anderson is an experienced chartered civil engineer having joined Balfour Beatty as a graduate in 1990.
He has held a number of senior positions within the company, most recently securing a pipeline of new major projects for Balfour Beatty’s Highways portfolio.
Speaking on his new role, Mr Anderson said: "I am delighted to lead Balfour Beatty VINCI’s High Speed 2 Joint Venture with an immediate focus on our bid for the preparatory works. This iconic rail infrastructure project will create significant opportunities for the UK construction industry helping to boost and re-balance the economy including creating thousands of jobs, apprenticeships and opportunities for supply chain partners."
