|---|---|
| Location | Birmingham, United Kingdom |
| Subcategory | VIADUCT |
| Application |
Works being carried out by Balfour Beatty VINCI include grouting of rail bearings on top of viaduct concrete piers and application of protective concrete. All Mapei products are being supplied by Bluebay Building Products.
Delta Junction comprises 13 viaducts and will enable high speed trains to travel between London and Birmingham, Birmingham and Manchester, and direct between London and Manchester without stopping at Birmingham. Upon completion, more than 8.7 miles of track will run through the network, crossing over the M6, M6 toll and M42, as well as roads, rivers, and railway lines. The triangular junction was designed by landscape architects and engineers from the Mott MacDonald SYSTRA Design Joint Venture (DJV), working closely with architects WW+P. It will include connected and accessible areas, extensive tree planting, and new wildlife habitats around viaducts. |
