What we are doing
From Friday 27 October we will start working 24 hours a day, seven days a week at our compound, located at Orton Way, Castle Bromwich Business Park. These works are required to create the ventilation shaft for the new HS2 tunnel that will run through the Bromford area.
During the night shifts we will continue to excavate the tunnel shaft. This will mean that most of our work will be taking place underground.
At ground level we will be using a mobile crane and wagons to lift and shift muck from the excavation to another location on our site.
We will also need to use an electrical generator and ventilation pump which can emit low levels of noise.
To reduce our impacts on our neighbours we have installed a noise barrier on site. We will also carry out attended noise monitoring at Cadbury Drive at various points during our works to ensure that we are working within our permitted levels. When we carry out attended noise monitoring you can expect to see operatives in hi-vis holding a noise monitor. Noise monitoring is non-intrusive so should not impact residents.
We will require lighting on the site 24 hours a day, to make sure our work areas are safe and secure. Lighting will be directed downwards and away from neighbouring properties wherever possible.
