What we are doing
As part of our preparatory works we are planning to divert the current watermain to Brook Farm away from the HS2 trace and look to reconnect to an existing watermain along Marsh Lane.
Firstly, we need to conduct some investigative utility trial holes along Marsh Lane, near Brook Farm to check for and correctly locate underground utilities within this area.
We will then begin the main utility works in March. Part of the works will involve Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD). 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 traffic management on Marsh Lane in the form of a road closure, however safe access to properties along the road will be maintained via traffic lights.
