What we are doing
Utility surveys in your area
We carried out a series of ground investigations earlier in 2021 around the Park Royal Road area. These helped us to understand the locations of utilities below the surface. We will be carrying out further drainage surveys from 1 to 3 November within the rail compound area off Park Royal Road. A map showing the location of these works is included on the following page.
Works will take place during the hours of 8am to 6pm on the 1 and 2 November 2021 and overnight from 8pm to 6am during a rail track possession on 3 November 2021.
These surveys will help us to understand the condition of the drainage system in the area and how best to protect it during construction of the railway. We will investigate the condition of the sewer system via a series of manhole covers using a camera and may need to flush the system if any blockages are found. Your utility services will not be affected during these works.
In order to gain access to two of the manhole covers, we will need to carry out some de-vegetation work. The de-vegetation works will commence during day shifts. Our operatives will be using power tools to cut back vegetation blocking access to the manholes.
You may also notice some noise from the tanker jet wash which will be on standby should we need to clear any blockages. There will be task lighting overnight which will be focused towards the work area during low light levels. We will monitor our working methods throughout these works to ensure any disruption is kept to a minimum.
