What we are doing
We are planning to divert the current watermain for Charlottes Farm away from the HS2 line and look to reconnect to an existing watermain along Marsh Lane, the works are anticipated to occur in July.
To do this, we first need to check and locate the affected underground utilities, using trial holes.
There will also be water main works likely in the form of Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) on Marsh Lane, near Charlottes Farm. HDD is a minimal impact trenchless method of installing underground utilities.
The HDD will be used to create the holes along the road and will pull the pipelines through. This will have minimal impact on the road and there should be no disruption to services.
For safety purposes, the HDD will be fenced and secured during the works.
There will be a road closure on Marsh Lane, however safe access to properties along the road will be maintained via traffic lights.
Some of this work is subject to relevant consents and granted permissions from Buckinghamshire Council. Due to this, the dates may change due to conditions outside of our control.
Please refer to the HS2 website regularly to check for any changes and updates.
