HS2 Ltd has revealed the final design plans for a headhouse, which will provide emergency access to the new railway tunnels on the approach to Euston station.

The three-storey building will be located next to the current West Coast Mainline and will be clad in grey engineering block, keeping in with the area’s Victorian architecture.

The building will extend above the current 10m high retaining wall with a green roof and paved courtyard.

The original parapet will be retained at street level, whilst below ground level, a 12-metre shaft will reach down to the tunnels below.

Camden Council and HS2 Ltd have worked together during the development of the designs after Costain, Skanska and STRABAG drew up the plans along with Design House.

Malcolm Codling, HS2 Ltd’s Project Client Director, said: “The headhouses will be one of the few parts of the London tunnels visible above ground before the line arrives at Euston station. That’s why it’s essential that we get the design right.

“Our design teams have made a number of significant changes as a result of community engagement, and we remain committed to working with the local community as we move forward with the construction phase of the project.”

James Richardson, Skanska Costain STRABAG Joint Venture’s Managing Director said: “We are making good progress in Euston, and work is underway to construct the portal where trains will emerge from the tunnels on their way into Euston station.

“Constructing 26 miles of tunnels and associated structures is a big task, we, therefore, have a growing Joint Venture of more than 1,000 people working for us. We are continuing to recruit more talent across and expanding our UK-wide supply chain throughout 2021 and beyond.”
