HIGH-SPEED RAIL PROJECT

Back

Aquila Forensics provided senior commercial advice and support to a contractor tendering for a High-Speed rail project. 

The project was to be delivered under an NEC 3 form of contract, but the Contractor was experienced in the use of FIDIC. Our professionals provided detailed information and support during the tender process. 

PROJECT

As the project will be constructed in three phases spanning more than 10 years, including the construction of the track, stations and supporting infrastructure,

The project is estimated to cost £56 billion and will carry up to 26,000 people per hour. As the project will be constructed in three phases spanning more than 10 years, including the construction of the track, stations and supporting infrastructure, Aquila Forensics professionals have been engaged at an early stage to provide expert guidance and assistance on procurement, commercial strategy and risk to ensure an over-arching commercial structure that aligns with the contractor’s aims and deliverables. 

The project will connect 25 stations serving 30 million people and our professionals have provided commercial guidance, structure, strategy and systems for a major international contractor to ensure challenging targets are met over the short, medium and long-term. Aquila Forensics’ advice was prepared to ensure a win-win approach during technical and complex construction phases throughout the framework agreement.  

The design is using innovative new technologies including a specialist high speed track bed.
