High Speed 2 Line: Iron and Steel

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what percentage of the total steel requirement for HS2 has been procured.

Answer

94% of structural steel and 90% of the steel rebar required for the HS2’s Main Works Civils has been procured. Assessments from the Main Works Contractors working on the Civils structures indicate that around 70% of Rebar and over 80% of Structural Steel required across the programme has been delivered.

Steel procurement has also progressed for other aspects of the programme; however, exact percentages are not available at this time for the Stations or Systems contracts as the designs are under development alongside ongoing HS2 reset activities.
