HS2 - Align JV

ALIGN

Align is a joint venture of three international and privately-owned infrastructure companies; Bouygues Travaux Publics, a subsidiary of Bouygues Construction, Sir Robert McAlpine, and VolkerFitzpatrick, a subsidiary of VolkerWessels. Our combined experience, both in the UK and worldwide, in delivering high-profile infrastructure projects safely, on time and on budget, has long established our reputation.

HS2 C1 PACKAGE

In July 2017 the Align joint venture was awarded the C1 package of the UK High Speed 2 line (HS2). C1 consists of 21.6km of high speed rail infrastructure in a rural environment. This will include a 3.37km viaduct, 16.04km twin-bored tunnel and five vent shafts handling both intervention
and tunnel ventilation facilities.

An alliance of tradition and innovation:
delivering transformational infrastructure

Experience

Bouygues Travaux Publics, VolkerFitzpatrick and Sir Robert McAlpine individually have excellent global reputations for delivering high-profile infrastructure projects – safely, on time and on budget. Together we represent a multi-party delivery entity that is more than capable of overcoming the technical challenges associated with delivering the C1 package of HS2.

Commitment

All three companies are agile businesses that have developed into world-class contractors, due to our individual commitment to outstanding innovation and engineering. This is supported by a common focus on building relationships of trust with our clients and other key stakeholders including their employees, the supply chain and local communities in which we operate.

Excellence

The Align partners collectively employ over 20,000 people and have a combined parent group turnover of over £12.5bn. As experienced contractors in the delivery of transport infrastructure, including high speed rail projects, we have a track record in managing complex projects from inception to completion.
