Contractors jack 1,100t viaduct into place in 13-hour operation

Belgian steelwork specialist Victor Buyck has jacked in a 1,100 tonne steel viaduct on HS2’s complex Delta Junction project.
Working for the Balfour Beatty Vinci JV, it took the firm 13 hours using push-pull jacking to install the 158m-long viaduct over two M42/M6 link roads in North Warwickshire.The operation was completed 10 hours ahead of schedule by a 25-strong Victor Buyck team, enabling the motorway link roads to be opened earlier than planned.
