The HS2 project, which aims to construct the first new intercity railway north of London in over a century, is confronted with significant flood risks as it traverses UK floodplains. In light of rising costs and project delays, HS2 has proactively integrated flood mitigation strategies from the design phase. These strategies include careful route selection to bypass flood-prone areas and the application of the “Exception Test” to ensure the safety of infrastructure. Additionally, BBV, a key private partner, has adopted advanced technology such as the Previsico Flood Intel Platform, which provides real-time flood alerts to safeguard construction sites, machinery, and personnel. This technology-driven approach enables HS2 to manage flood risks effectively, enhancing operational safety and minimizing potential damages.
