BBV HS2 MWCC North - Mobile Unit Visitor Centre

Balfour Beatty VINCI (BBV) have been awarded HS2 main works civils contracts for the Area North project in the West Midlands.

The BBV works area, is split into 8 sublots. Each sublot requires a visitor centre as part of the agreement with HS2, four sublots require additional facilities to enable this. It was determined that a mobile unit would efficiently satisfy these requirements. The mobile unit will provide BBV with an adaptive mobile environment to help facilitate project information to a wider audience. The mobile unit should be able to act as an opportunity for ongoing engagement including outreach programmes as well as a temporary visitor unit to offer the ability to host events.
