HS2
Phase 1 - Euston Station

The new Euston HS2 terminal, accommodating 11 new high-speed rail connections from London to the Midlands and the North. The scheme also includes new ticket offices and tunnel links for the London Underground, better facilities for buses and taxi ranks and clear interchanges for all transport services, cyclists and pedestrians.

Blue Sky Building were employed by the Arup/Grimshaw design team to provide pre-construction advice for their RIBA 3 design delivery, as well as providing the RIBA 3 Construction programme and Construction Delivery Report. Embedded within the design team at Arup’s Fitzrovia offices, the BSB team provided daily support with both the design development and interfacing with external parties, such as Network Rail, London Underground and other HS2 project teams, to articulate the construction logic and sequencing.

Providing assistance to the design team on “constructability” of proposed design solutions.

Assistance with third party interfaces regarding scopes of work, engineering & construction continuity and programme.

Advice/proposals on logistical arrangements for the entire HS2 Euston project duration.

Compilation of a RIBA 3 Construction programme, including identifying programme mitigation opportunities.

Advice on the proposal to move materials by rail (both into and out of site) via the Material by Rail Report.

Act as briefing and interface support team to engage with external third parties and with the Construction Partner on the project.

Provision of 4D modelling services to articulate the programme visually, using a variety of 3D and 4D software applications.
