Overview

Amrose Associates has played a key role in supporting the delivery of HS2 Phase One, providing specialist temporary works design and technical support across one of the UK’s most demanding and ambitious modern infrastructure projects.

Working alongside major contractors and joint ventures, our team has delivered engineering expertise on multiple sections of the route, including work with formwork reinforced concrete (FRC) subcontractors supporting Balfour Beatty VINCI (BBV) on the 80km stretch between London and the West Midlands. We have also supported the Eiffage, Kier, Ferrovial and BAM (EKFB) joint venture on the Area Central section, spanning South Buckinghamshire to South Warwickshire.

Our experience across these projects has made us a trusted engineering partner, delivering practical, buildable temporary works solutions that support safe, efficient construction on one of the UK’s largest infrastructure programmes.

The Challenge

HS2 presents a unique engineering environment. Delivering temporary works design on this project demands an understanding of the complex governance, assurance processes and technical standards that apply to the HS2 build.

Every design must pass through rigorous approval procedures while meeting demanding programme deadlines, often within constrained construction environments. Contractors therefore need engineering partners who can produce compliant, buildable solutions while navigating project-specific documentation, technical assurance and approval requirements efficiently.

Balancing safety, programme timelines, buildability and compliance is critical to keeping construction progressing on schedule.

How We Help

Our experience on major rail infrastructure projects means we understand both the engineering and the processes that sit behind successful project delivery.

Working closely with contractors, site teams and project stakeholders, we provide:

  • Temporary works design for complex construction activities.
  • Technical engineering support throughout project delivery.
  • Practical, buildable design solutions tailored to site constraints.
  • Designs developed with HS2 assurance and compliance requirements in mind.
  • Collaborative support that helps reduce design risk and minimise delays during approvals.

By combining practical engineering expertise with an in-depth understanding of the HS2 environment, we help contractors move confidently from design through to construction.

The Result

Through our work across multiple HS2 Phase One projects, Amrose has developed extensive knowledge of the challenges involved in delivering one of the UK’s most ambitious infrastructure programmes.

Our collaborative approach, technical expertise and understanding of complex assurance processes allow us to add value from the earliest stages of a project, helping contractors reduce design risk, improve construction efficiency and maintain programme momentum.

As HS2 continues to reshape the UK’s transport network, Amrose remains proud to support its delivery through innovative engineering, practical temporary works solutions and long-term partnerships with leading contractors.
