The AIM-traded firm said the deals included a £7.5m, four-year contract to supply high-integrity steel doorsets for HS2’s Old Oak Common station and a multi-year agreement worth up to £1m to provide maintenance services for tunnel doors on the Elizabeth Line.

Booth’s outstanding HS2 order book now exceeded £40m, following earlier contracts including a £4.5m order in January to supply pressure-rated fire doors for the project.

Old Oak Common is set to be a key interchange linking HS2, the Elizabeth Line and National Rail services.

Avingtrans said the new doorsets would provide fire integrity, secure access control and durability for the station’s long-term operations.

“The two new contracts are great news for our business and build on our work on Crossrail, the Northern Line extension and earlier phases of HS2,” said Booth managing director Mike Jenkinson.

“It demonstrates the value HS2 places on our unmatched design and manufacturing expertise, developing high-integrity doorsets that meet the most demanding safety and performance standards, as well as our proven experience delivering complex infrastructure projects around the world.”

Austen Adams, divisional managing director of Avingtrans’ AES division, said the contracts reinforced Booth’s position as a specialist provider of performance-critical infrastructure products with global market potential.

At 1204 BST, shares in Avingtrans were up 0.45% at 443p.
