- A landmark HS2 contract is set to see a brand-new factory created on an old oil rig fabrication site in Hartlepool, creating over 100 new jobs for people in the surrounding area.
HS2’s Main Works Civils Contractor, Costain Skanska STRABAG joint venture (SCS JV), have awarded their second contract for the production of precast tunnel segments to STRABAG, who have announced they will be opening the facility in Hartlepool to fulfil the contract.
STRABAG will be providing 36,000 segments for the twin bored tunnels under London from HS2’s new Old Oak Common station to Green Parkway running underneath Northolt.

Positive news for the N E. Now we need you as Transport Minister and the ever present Tees Valley Mayor to ensure the 3rd leg to the north is built, fulfilling the oft repeated promise from the PM down, to build back utilising HS2 as a key spine to that promise. Failure will not go unnoticed locally!
For the Chilterns tunnels they are manufactured at the portal, shame they couldn't have reduced the road/rail miles for these?
You do realise tunnels will be being built in the Midlands and the North of England as well?
if they were supplied from near the M25 you would have complained about the mileage. Right?
@@1chish As stated up-thread; the likelihood is the lion's share of the tunnelling will be in the south. Even more so if the later phases are paused or curtailed.
@@louispole6285 As replied up thread you use the word 'if' to justify an argument?
Again as replied above the project as it stands right now will build all routes as planned.
@@1chish And I hope to live long enough to use all legs of the new railway.
Pretty sure the segments for the London and Chiltern Tunnels are made at the Chiltern Site?
I'm surprised a industrial unit so far from London was selected. I trust it is rail connected for the logistics.
He did say the segments are being shipped to London and Hartlepool has a new Tory MP.
@@newton7890 I didn't hear him mention "how" they are being shipped. ITYF Northolt is fairly land-locked.
It is, though will no doubt require some minor (in the scheme of things) works to configure the loading sidings and the product will be railed to London.
Sprinkle a couple of hundred jobs around the country at the cost of a few million, simply to provide the soundbite of 'investment across the country' when challenged in interviews.
Can you guys announce who's won the rolling stock contract already? It's October...
Whilst not set in stone it's looking likely to be Hitachi/Bombardier JV
@@MikeWillSee Bombardier don't exist anymore, and there's been no word from alstom or hitachi as to if that joint bid will still go ahead.
@@Red_wine I know that but the train they proposed is still being proposed, and it's basically been unofficially announced that that's where the contract is going. This is because Siemens is suing HS2 Ltd. because they believe they should have the contract instead of Hitachi/Bombardier being the official reason given, thus revealing that the contract, whilst not officially announced, looks set to go to the Hitachi/Bombardier JV (even if Bombardier has since been bought by Alstom)
It already has it Siemens
@@abhaymanoj3784 it's not, they're currently in the process of suing HS2 Ltd. because they're not happy with the outcome so it's definitely not them! There's a few good news articles on it if you just search "Siemens suing HS2 Ltd." or something like that.
Just goes to show that this won't just benefit business travellers in London as some have suggested but the entire country in one way or another. Glad to see a factory opening in Hartlepool, one of the most deprived places in the country, that could really do with an economic boost like this. Naysayers being proven wrong once again!
Strabag good UK company :-) Austrian or German you take your pick. Making concrete segments is not Rocket Science. Where are the "Global Leaders" in Building in the UK?
Can you explain to this simple old fellah why people like you feel the need to take the piss out of everything and anything?
What is so wrong with a foreign firm investing in the UK?
What is so wrong with giving contracts to firms prepared to invest in the North?
This firm has been operating in the UK for 10 years and is is one of many 'global leaders' in the UK both British and foreign owned.
And finally for such a smartarse you clearly know nothing about tunneling because making tunnel segments is a VERY specialist business.
@@1chish Of course Harlepool is so very close to Northolt.
You'd be surprised
@@1chish very Specialist - you Are having a laugh Old Fellah
@@edc1569 Surprise us please.
Harm the environment harm society harm our air quality
This project seems excellent guys! You get the big go ahead as you will benefit the very few and harm the masses, good job! 👍🏻🤬
Its an electric railway.....
This literally benefits everyone you moro n. As the video shows even places as far away as Hartlepool are getting a boost from HS2. Hartlepool is one of the most deprived towns in the UK, if you could stop and imagine the quality of life of a resident of Hartlepool regarding education, crime, health, life expectancy etc and then realise that can all be changed by economic boosts such as this factory opening then perhaps you wouldn't post such ignorant tripe. HS2 is true human progress.
@@wertrocks123 hahaha smashing thu natural habitats and using tonnes of fossil fuels to do so is very green and great fo ru ignorant blisses, even if it is electric, won’t cover the amount of harm which will be done to the environment u Celti n s 😂 guess u r a bunch of uneducated brainwashed phoeses
@@quickreviewchannel6931 he says using his planet-destroying electronic device built using materials sourced from the most polluting environments on earth. If co2 is your only argument then you are an utter hypocrite. You are simply denying progress.
@@wertrocks123 we all pollute in some form or another, but I don’t think I will be binning my device anytime, and you are seriously comparing the environmental potential harm of a single electronic device which besides the battery can be recycled which defeats your point, to hs2 which will burn tonnes of fossil fuels, damage millions of acres of natural habitat which can’t just be replaced and millions of pounds of damage will be done to people e.g. who will have to live near the load trains and suffer due to it, and the development will require many to suffer the noise and pollution who live near by the tracks.
Hs2 is Harming society 2
