Four consortiums have been picked by HS2 to deliver the seven civils works packages which make up phase one of the 63€bn line from London to Birmingham.
Costain / Skanska / Strabag, Balfour Beatty / Vinci and Carillion / Kier / Eiffage were the big winners, scooping two packages each, while Bouygues / Sir Robert McAlpine / VolkerFitzpatrick secured the remaining package.
Bam Nuttall / Morgan Sindall / Ferrovial, Laing O’Rourke / FCC / Murphy, Acciona / Sisk / Lagan Construction Group, Hochtief / Dragados / Galliford Try and Bechtel were the firms to miss out.
The contracts will now be officially signed at the end of this month after a standstill period. Construction of the line is expected to begin in 2019.
Skanska / Costain / Strabag landed both southern packages, being chosen for the Euston tunnels and approaches packages and the Northolt Tunnels package.

Carillion / Kier / Eiffage have dominated the central packages, picking up the North Portal Chiltern Tunnels to Brackley and the Brackley to Long Itchington Wood Green south portal.
Balfour Beatty / Vinci won both packages for the northern section of the line, landing the Wood Green tunnel to Delta Junction / Birmingham Spur package and the Delta Junction to West Coast Main Line package.
The Align JV, made up of Bouygues, Sir Robert McAlpine and VolkerFitzpatrick, secured one package: the Chiltern Tunnel and Colne viaduct.
The estimated value of all seven contracts is now estimated at 8€bn, 2€bn lower than original upper-value cost estmations.
The award of the civils contracts comes eight months after HS2 awarded its three enabling packages for the north, central and southern sections of the line worth a total of 1 023€m.
A Skanska / Costain JV won the southern section enabling package, Laing O’Rouke / Murphy JV took the northern section, while the Bam Nuttall / Ferrovial / Morgan Sindall JV won the central section of the line.
