HS2’s London Logistics Hub celebrates processing one million tonnes of spoil

HS2 is once again celebrating project progress as its London Logistics Hub, located at the Willesden Euro Terminal, has processed one million tonnes of spoil. The Logistics Hub, managed by HS2’s London Tunnels Contractor, Skanska Costain STRABAG Joint Venture (SCS JV), processes excavated material from the Old Oak Common Station, the Victoria Road Crossover Box in Ealing, and the nearby Atlas Road site. The material from HS2’s work is brought to the site on a network of conveyors, which were switched on in November 2022 by the HS2 Minister, Huw Merriman. After sorting and storing the spoil it is loaded onto wagons which are then taken by rail to sites on Kent, Rugby and Cambridgeshire where they will be used for environmental and house building projects. To date, the work done at the logistics hub has eliminated 55,000 lorry journeys. Over the course of the HS2 project, the Logistics Hub will process over 5million tonnes of spoil. At peak, seven trains per day will depart from the London Logistics Hub, with 3 per day departing at present. Each train takes 1,500 tonnes of material – the equivalent of 80 lorry loads. The enormous logistics operation is managed inside the site’s huge control room. The team can see how much spoil is on site, can monitor the loading into the wagons, and can ensure that the operation meets the railway timetable. Sheffield based company, 3Squared, developed the software being used. The Logistics Hub not only manages materials leaving HS2 sites but will also begin processing the delivery of 100,000 tunnel segments rings which STRABAG are due to begin producing at their new facility in Hartlepool. Like the spoil, the segments will be transported using rail, rather than local roads. Combined with the removal of spoil, it is estimated that the London Logistics Hub operations will removed the need for 1 million lorry journeys over the duration of the HS2 project.
