HS2 contractors Balfour Beatty Vinci Systra (BBVS JV) and Skanska Costain Strabag (SCS JV) have collaborated to build a 2.2km-long network of conveyors to transport spoil away from their operations in west London.

The conveyor network has three spurs, serving the Old Oak Common station site, the Victoria Road Crossover box, and the Atlas Road site. It then connects to the HS2 Logistics Hub.
