What we are doing
Piling works
Piling activity for the underground HS2 station box is now complete. Piling work will now be taking place for the eight Great Western Main Line platforms and ground level conventional station building. This work will involve further drilling, deep excavation, and ground strengthening works. Large machinery will be on site, including mobile cranes, piling rigs and excavation machinery as part of this activity.
Deliveries started week commencing Monday 28 November. Some of our oversized deliveries will need to take place in the early morning to minimise disruption to traffic. There may be a temporary increase in the number of large vehicles arriving and departing the site. The site team will carefully manage these deliveries to avoid disruption to the local community. Please see page 2 for a map of the works and information on the machinery.
We will ensure that noise is kept within permitted levels using best practicable means, including sound barriers and dust suppressants onsite to minimise the impact of these works.
Due to these works involving concrete, we will work extended hours from 8am to 8pm Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays) and 8am to 4pm on Saturdays.
Rigs and Machinery
Machinery needed to carry out the piling work will include the following:
• 3 x Piling rigs – construction machine mainly used to drill and create piles in soil, clay, etc. Widely used for cast-in-place piles, diaphragm walls, and foundation reinforcement.
• 3 x Crawler cranes – construction machine consisting of an upper carriage mounted on moveable tracks. The upper deck and attachments rotate 360º.
• 3 x Excavators – earthmoving vehicles that feature a bucket, arm, rotating cab and movable tracks.
• 3 x Dumpers – a four-wheeled vehicle with a load skip/bucket for carrying bulk material.
