Bauer Keller Joint Venture (BKJV) awarded EKFB contract
BKJV, the 50:50 joint venture between Bauer Technologies Ltd and
Keller UK (BKJV), has been awarded a contract by EKFB to deliver
geotechnical work as part of the C23 package on High Speed 2 (HS2)
in the UK.
The contract award is worth GBP95 million and at peak
production, the works will require over 200 highly skilled experts
in ground engineering and foundations, working in a number of
varied site locations.
EKFB is a joint venture of four international infrastructure
companies; Eiffage, Kier, Ferrovial Construction and BAM Nuttall,
which is building the C23 section of the new high-speed line
between London and the West Midlands. The C23 section consists of
80km of high-speed rail infrastructure, including 15 viaducts, over
80 bridges, 7km of green tunnels and 30 million cubic metres of
excavation.
BKJV's scope of work is to construct piled foundations for the
structures, as well as the construction of secant piled and slurry
walls and the installation of pressure relief drains.
BKJV has already completed initial preliminary pile testing
works and teams are focused on a mobilisation to site to commence
main works in April this year. The contract is expected to be
completed in 2024.
Michael Jones - Managing Director, Bauer Technologies commented:
"After two and a half years of working collaboratively with EKFB in
the planning phase of this project, we are excited to make a start
in April on the main works of this section, for what is Europe's
largest infrastructure project. Bauer and Keller have great synergy
and a similar culture which makes us perfect partners for each
other."
Jim De Waele, Keller President Europe, adds: "BKJV is a return
to our successful partnership with Bauer having previously worked
together on the London Underground and Crossrail station projects.
We're excited to bring our complementary geotechnical capabilities,
experience and capacity to one of the most demanding and exciting
transport projects in Europe."
