Align JV + ALICE Technologies have won the Industry Innovation Champion Award at the 2022 British Construction Industry Awards in London.

About the project

ALICE Technologies and Align JV (comprising Bouygues Travaux Publics, Sir Robert McAlpine, and VolkerFitzpatrick) have partnered on an innovation project for HS2 Phase One. Align is delivering the C1 package of the high-speed railway. Comprising a 21.6km stretch of railway, it includes a 3.37km viaduct and 16.04km twin-bored tunnel, with five ventilation shafts.

The Align team ran a pilot with ALICE to test their schedule for the viaduct substructure and look for improvements. In six weeks, they managed to replicate three years of planning work.
