HS2 Area North

We tailored mitigation measures and delivered bespoke environmental training to safeguard ecosystems and support sustainable delivery.

Working across the UK presents a diverse range of environmental challenges. Our SB3 JV team working on HS2’s Area North project, demonstrated their commitment to protecting and enhancing the natural environment by operating through numerous protected and designated sites with care and precision.

To ensure the highest standards of environmental protection, the teams implemented additional mitigation measures tailored to each sensitive location. These proactive steps helped safeguard local ecosystems while maintaining programme delivery.

All supervisory staff on the contract received bespoke environmental training, developed and delivered by Balfour Beatty’s in-house environmental sustainability team. This training was designed to reflect our specific risks, working methods and sustainability goals – enhancing our teams’ understanding of environmental compliance and sustainable development.
