Farrans Sacyr Joint Venture, the main contractor delivering Belfast Grand Central Station, has successfully reached one million hours on the main works package without a health and safety incident.

Farrans, a CIOB chartered company, is delivering the new multi-modal transport hub with Sacyr. It was opened to the public by Translink in September 2024, replacing the Europa and Great Victoria Street bus and rail stations.

The construction team has placed health and safety as its top priority since starting on site. Over 2,500 people have been inducted on to the project. There have been over 12,500 training hours, over 600 toolbox talks, 7,000 daily briefings, bi-annual safety stand-downs and an entrance tunnel decorated to focus on site safety and ‘getting home safe every day’.
