Construction of the new Birmingham station is well underway. Engineers working on Curzon Street station have completed the last of more than 2,000 concrete piles. These concrete columns - each between 6 and 2m deep - have been sunk into the ground to support the foundations of the building. As part of the work, the team installed an 8m high secant retaining wall at the western end of the site and excavated 47,000 cubic metres of material to create a level base for the station. With the piling now complete, the main focus has turned to preparing the way for the Digbeth extension to the West Midlands Metro -which will stop under the station on New Canal Street - and completion of the remaining foundation works.
