Mandeville Road Vent Shaft HS2
SCS construction were contracted by HS2 to provide the Mandeville Road Vent Shaft for fire control systems and the ventilation systems for various railway tunnels. The existing NR S&T Cable Route is foul of the Vent Shaft build area & final HS2 land boundary. There was insufficient slack to lift and shift the existing cables into the new route west of the Disused Track. There were 7 x S&T Cables identified for diversion. 4 of which were telecoms cables, 2 were signalling, and 1 was E&P. The SCS Construction Programme was dependent upon the satisfactory diversion of these cables. The NR Route Boundaries at the location of the site are Northwest & Central Route / Wales & Western Route.
Our Role
The signalling alterations that we undertook included the disconnection, recovery and replacement of signalling and power cables in 4 Location Cases. The new cables were of sufficient length to accommodate the required diversion.

Thanks to you and your team for the slides, I understand that this request has been slightly disruptive and the requirement to produce them is moot, but they are appreciated.
