The Federation of Piling Specialists (FPS) has launched an interactive nationwide digital map of completed piling projects, not simply to improve foundation design, but to also promote circularity in the discipline.

HS2’s engineers have completed the last of more than 2,000 concrete piles that will underpin the foundations of the project’s Curzon Street station in Birmingham.

The Federation of Piling Specialists (FPS) has published the latest edition of its Working Platform Certificate (WPC/4e).

HS2 has started using a hydrogen dual fuel piling rig in its London site in what is thought to be the first real-world use of the technology on a construction site.

Skanska has begun a trial of a plug-in electric drilling rig to work on HS2, which it claims is a world first.
