S2 continues from Old Oak Common with 15 km of twin bored tunnels to West Ruislip where there is approximately 5 km of open route before transitioning into C1 lot (managed by Others).
SCS’s scope will include the full design of all Main Civil Works for the Lots S1 and S2 of HS2. Whilst the works consists mostly of civil engineering elements, there is also a substantial MEP element associated with shafts and headhouses.
Three of the tunnels on the HS2 route require shafts. These are the Euston, Northolt and Chiltern tunnels.

the Chiltern tunnel (15.9km / 9.9miles long) will have shafts at Chalfont St Peter, Chalfont St Giles, Amersham, Little Missenden and Chesham Road.
Tunnel ends will be constructed with ‘Porous Portals’ which have openings to the outside air.
The Project is split down into 3 areas, Area East (Euston), Area Central (Old Oak Common) and Area West (West Ruislip) along the route of the project there are 11 assets. An Asset is either a shaft and head house or a portal and head house. The Project has a requirement to install 10No lifts into all but 1 asset (Copthall), the lifts must comply with EN 81-20, EN 81-50 and EN 81-72 compliant firefighting lifts, also designated to be used during emergency for passenger rescue as well as for MEP plant and equipment maintenance strategy in accordance with SCS Contract requirements.
The SCS procurement strategy is to appoint a Lift contractor to develop the performance specification into a compliant detailed design specification, and to carry out the manufacture, installation, integration, testing and commissioning to handover. It is expected the lift supplier will work with SCS Design House to ensure all spatial and interface requirements are fully co-ordinated during LOD 4 Stages (Design) and work with SCS appointed Design co-ordinator during the LOD 5 Stage (Construction).
