Preparatory works at the site of the HS2 Birmingham Interchange, near the city airport and National Exhibition Centre, are approaching their conclusion, marking the official beginning of construction on the site.Going into more detail, the site on which the HS2 Birmingham Interchange will be situated sits within a triangular patch of land between the M42, A45, and A452. This patch of land in itself has now undergone earthworks by a team of three contractor companies named LM, Laing O’Rourke, and Murphy.According to recently revealed designs, the focus of the Interchange will be sustainability, with it having a net zero carbon output that will be achieved through rainwater harvesting and 2,000sq m of solar panels.
