HS2 (High Speed Rail) can be considered the
largest infrastructure project in Europe. Its construction will take the
next 15 years and the new lines will be operational until the next century.
Overall, the HS2 trains will serve 25 stations that will connect around
30 million people, with an estimated 100 million passengers a year upon
completion of the sections.
Once the project is completed, approximately
345 miles of new high-speed rail will link the city centres of London,
Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds. HS2 trains will continue on mainline
east and west coast lines, serving towns and cities in the north of England
and Scotland, including Glasgow, Edinburgh, York, Darlington, Durham, Newcastle,
Wigan, Preston and Carlisle.
For this work, FPC Italia has designed, certified and produced steel bearings TETRON Linear Rocker type with vertical loads over 7000 kN, horizontal loads over 2000 kN and movements over 100 mm.
