We've revealed a big construction milestone in Birmingham city centre, with the completion of the first giant V-shaped pier for the 300 metres long viaduct that will bring high speed trains into the new Curzon Street Station.
The 5 metre tall structure is the first pier to be installed for the ‘Curzon No. 3 Viaduct’, which will be the final approach to HS2’s new seven platform station in the city centre. In total, 26 concrete piers will be installed for this viaduct, with heights varying between 5 and 6 metres above ground level. In addition, 4 steel tripod piers will be erected to span over the Digbeth Branch Canal.
In total, 30 concrete piers will be installed for this viaduct, and once all piers are in place, the team will begin to form. the deck spans connecting the piers with the longest span between each pier stretching over 28 metres across the site.
