Overview
The STRABAG Advanced Manufacturing Facility is a highly sophisticated factory located on a repurposed 45,000 m2 oil rig fabrication site with excellent transportation links by sea, road, and rail. The facility will deliver over 83,500 precast concrete segments for HS2’s London tunnels, with the scope to adapt production for further STRABAG projects in the future.
