The construction of the High Speed Two (HS2) railway between London and Birmingham crosses a series of geological strata from the Paleogene through to Carboniferous Periods, overlain by the effects and deposits of the Quaternary. The project includes the largest ground investigation ever undertaken in the UK and several large-scale trials including a full-scale Earthworks Experimental Trial Site at Boddington in central England. This joint industry-academia presentation will describe the development of this Earthworks Experiment encompassing the planning and execution of the trial, the management of the ground related data and how this data is being used in Academia to provide a lasting legacy for the wider geotechnical community.
