HS2 confirmed that Derbyshire-based Stanton Precast has been awarded a major contract to deliver three innovative ‘green tunnels’ for the high-speed rail project in a move that is set to create up to 100 local jobs. Four miles worth of tunnel will be built in thousands of sections at the Ilkeston factory before shipping to site and assembling at three locations in Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire, to reduce disruption and improve efficiency. In total Stanton will produce more than 13,290 tunnel segments to form the three green tunnels.
