Description HS2 is Great Britain's new high-speed railway. Once operational, HS2 trains will facilitate journeys between Birmingham and London, with services extending to Manchester, the North West, and Scotland using conventional railways. The new route will comprise 140 miles of track, four stations, two depots, 32 miles of tunnel, and 130 bridges. The first HS2 services will run between Birmingham Curzon Street and Old Oak Common in London from 2029 to 2033. HS2 has awarded several railway systems contracts, valued at over £4 billion, for the design, supply, construction, testing & commissioning, and maintenance of the route between London and Birmingham. HRS03 HV Power (traction and non-traction) Rail Systems Contract is being delivered by the Siemens Mobility Costain Joint Venture (SMCjv) (the Contractor) on behalf of High Speed 2 (the Employer). HRS03’s scope of works is to provide 25kV Traction and 33kV/11kV Non-traction HV power for HS2’s rail system Phases 1 and 3 between London Euston and Birmingham. The works will include various disciplines such as HV power, SCADA, Civils, Protection & Control, EMC, E&B and LV power.
