Main site activities in the South Ruislip area

What we are doing

Safe stop down to SCS works from 10 October 

Safety is our number one priority at HS2. Following an incident that occurred at the Green Park Way site in Ealing, works are being safely halted across the London Tunnels section of the route, including sites in Hillingdon. While no workers were physically harmed, our contractor, Skanska Costain STRABAG joint venture, is undertaking a comprehensive review of safety procedures and leadership on their sites before a safe restart can take place. 

Works will be brought to a safe stop and will remain on hold until we’re satisfied that all appropriate measures are in place to protect the workforce. We anticipate the review may take a number of weeks depending on the area and the type of work involved. 

We will provide details on when the safe stop will be in place over the course of the next week.

We are building two ventilation (vent) shafts and a headhouse at the South Ruislip site in Hillingdon. This is one of four vent shaft and headhouse sites on the 13.5km section of the Northolt Tunnel between Old Oak Common station and the West Ruislip portal.

Each week, we’ll produce a map showing the main construction activities in the South Ruislip area. Please use the link below to see the latest map.
