What we are doing
To allow us to provide a water supply to our Rocky Lane Compound, we need to carry out connection works to the existing Thames Water main that is buried below Rocky Lane carriageway. This will supply the compound and help to reduce the number of vehicles delivering to the site.
Our utilities subcontractor, Clancy, has identified existing cables and pipes already in the ground. The water pipe identified is in the centre of the carriageway therefore to ensure these works are completed safely we will need to implement a full 24-hour road closure for 5 days, the road will be closed 24 hours a day between 27 February and 3 March.
The water connection process involves excavating at the location of the water main and tapping into the main. The water supply to adjacent properties will not be affected during these works. Once complete, the excavations will be backfilled and carriageway resurfaced.
Please note, as we are unsure of the condition the underground pipes may be in, if they require further repair which we cannot undertake on the day, we will need to backfill the excavation and return to complete the works at a later date when we have the necessary mitigation in place.
These dates are subject to change due to circumstances beyond our control. Should we finish the works early, the closure will be removed.
