Conveyor removal, Victoria Road, North Acton

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 SCS sites in Old Oak Common and North Acton. 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. 

From 2 August to 1 November 2025, we will be working 24 hours a day, seven days a week to remove sections of the conveyor within the Flat Iron site and next to Dudding Hill Line bridge on Victoria Road, North Acton.

The conveyor, which has been used for transporting excavated material from the Northolt Tunnel excavation work, is no longer needed as the work is now completed.

You may notice noise from construction machinery and tools. Noisier works will be carried out during the day. We will use noise reducing barriers where possible. We will use floodlighting and direct the lighting away from local properties.
