The initial design phase of the HS2 high-speed rail project will coincide with the completion of main works contracts.

With the statutory ten-day standstill period concluded, the contracts are set to be signed.

The Ferrovial BAM Joint Venture earlier delivered critical UK infrastructure projects.

The partnership between the firms began in 2010 as BFK, completing three Crossrail contracts, including the longest tunneling section between Royal Oak and Farringdon and the first central station on the Elizabeth Line, Farringdon Station.

Currently, the companies are working on the Silvertown Tunnel in East London.

Last week, UK-based Costain received a £400m ($507.3m) contract to supply tunnel and lineside mechanical and electrical (M&E) systems for the HS2 rail project.

The contract covers the design, supply, manufacture, installation, testing, and commissioning of these systems during the construction phase.
