GKR Scaffolding has completed a large temporary roof structure at HS2’s Euston site.
The installation sits beside the live station and supports enclosed works that are expected to continue for the next 12 months.
Project overview
- Roof span: 32 metres
- Apex height: 9.5 metres
- Roof length: 76 metres
- Track length: 130 metres
- Weight: 98.4 tonnes
- Build time: eight weeks
The structure provides a controlled and fully screened environment for complex activities on the Euston project. It has been designed so it can move as works progress, allowing teams to maintain activity without affecting nearby piling operations.
A key element of the project is the use of a rebar-free foundation system. The bases can be removed and reused as the encapsulation moves along Cardington Street. This is intended to support a faster programme once follow-on works begin.
GKR delivered the installation in collaboration with the MDJV project team, temporary works specialists and Network Rail.
The images will show the scale of the roof, the encapsulation detail and the track system used to relocate the structure as construction advances.
