Change to end date at Mandeville Road site

What we are doing

Safe stop down to SCS works from 10 October 

Safety is our number one priority at HS2. Following an incident that occurred at the Green Park Way site in Ealing, works are being safely halted across the London Tunnels section of the route, including sites in Ealing. While no workers were physically harmed, our contractor, Skanska Costain STRABAG joint venture, is undertaking a comprehensive review of safety procedures and leadership on their sites before a safe restart can take place. 

Works will be brought to a safe stop and will remain on hold until we’re satisfied that all appropriate measures are in place to protect the workforce. We anticipate the review may take a number of weeks depending on the area and the type of work involved. 

We will provide details on when the safe stop will be in place over the course of the next week. 

The end date for our works at the Mandeville Road Headhouse and Vent Shaft site has moved from summer 2026 to summer 2027.

We need to carry out works to connect the shaft to the tunnels by removing a concrete slab at the bottom of the shaft. The dates for these works have changed due to coordination with other ongoing works along the tunnel route. There has also been an unexpected change to the headhouse construction method.
