What we are doing
Piping installation for sewer diversion on Wormwood Scrubs
We will be installing concrete piping as part of the sewer diversion works on Wormwood Scrubs. This will involve installing sheet piles to build a large diameter trench.
To complete this work a trench must be excavated to install each piece of pipe. Diggers will be used to dig the trench. Following completion of the trench, the digger will be used to backfill the ground around the trenches and to remove the piles. The sheet piles will be pushed into ground by a digger as shown in the image below. This will create a wall around where the trenches are being dug. The same digger will also excavate inside the trench to allow for the new sewer.
The works will be carried out within the secure compound built in Wormwood Scrubs and no additional vegetation clearance will take place as part of this work. The location of works is shown on the image below.
You might notice an increase in noise levels from machinery and hand tools during this work. We will use best practicable means to minimise any impact on our site neighbours. The works will be completed within the site hoarding which will act as a barrier to reduce the noise. The works will be carried out between 8am – 6pm Monday to Friday and 8am – 1pm on Saturdays.
