The United Kingdom’s largest project is HS2. A project to link London to Birmingham with a high speed train line that can provide significant increases in rail capacity in a highly congested area. There is 140 miles of new track, with four new stations and a myriad of structures to support the rail line, with a projected cost of £66Bn. It is a major piece of civil engineering infrastructure, requiring technology, ingenuity and plenty of people and plant.
