We are proud to contribute to the HS2 Atlas Road Logistics Tunnel (ARLT), a key component of the UK’s largest high-speed rail project. As part of this critical infrastructure programme, Transforge UK Ltd is supplying temporary pipe and cable support systems that ensure safe and efficient installation of essential services during tunnel construction.
The Purpose of the Atlas Road Logistics Tunnel
Due to site restrictions at Old Oak Common Station site, ARLT is providing a vital link to a remote site on Victoria Road, approximately 1kM from the Old Oak Common site where the Euston Tunnel TBM’s are due to start their journey from Old Oak Common Station to Euston Station in Central London. The ARLT is to support logistics, utilities, and services essential to the construction of the Euston Tunnels. By providing a secure underground route, the tunnel facilitates safe transportation of equipment and materials, enabling construction teams to deliver the high-speed rail project on schedule while maintaining safety standards. Temporary support systems are essential for keeping TBM services secure, managed and accessible.
Our Contribution: Temporary Pipe and Cable Supports
During tunnelling, a network of pipes and cables are required to support the TBM and other construction activities. Our temporary support solutions are engineered to:
- Provide Reliable Temporary Support – Safely carry the weight of power cables, communications lines, and other services during installation.
- Enable Rapid Installation and Removal – Modular design allows supports to be quickly installed, reconfigured, and removed as the tunnel progresses.
- Maintain Safety Standards – Even as temporary structures, our supports meet rigorous tunnelling safety requirements.
- Adapt to Construction Progress – Flexible systems move with the TBM and evolving tunnel layout, keeping projects on schedule.
Partnering for Safe and Efficient Construction
By providing temporary support systems, we help construction teams maintain safety and efficiency throughout the Euston Tunnels build. Our products ensure that essential services remain secure, accessible, and compliant during the tunnel’s construction phase.
Supporting the Future of High-Speed Rail
The HS2 Atlas Road Logistics Tunnel is a crucial part of the UK’s high-speed rail network. We are proud that our temporary pipe and cable supports play a key role in enabling safe, efficient, and reliable tunnel construction, helping to deliver one of the country’s most transformative infrastructure projects.
