A behind-the-scenes insight into the build of HS2: a site visit to EKFB's 'C2G' project

The A422 Compound, near Brackley, is a key delivery hub within EKFB’s Calvert to Greatworth section of HS2, supporting major earthworks and infrastructure works along the route.

The project is led by EKFB Project Director, Tony Wehby FCIOB, along with EKFB Deputy Project DirectorsTimothée Scherer and Juan Rodriguez, HS2 Senior Project Managers Paul Cooper and Kariem Adam with HS2 Head of Delivery Luis Gonzalez.
