What we are doing
Piling works
Piling activity for the underground HS2 station box is now complete. Piling work will now be taking place for the eight Great Western Mainline platforms and ground level conventional station building. This work will involve further drilling, deep excavation, and ground strengthening works. The work will involve large machinery on site, including mobile cranes, piling rigs and excavation machinery.
Due to the size of these machines, and the large vehicles required to bring them to the site, oversized deliveries will need to take place in the early morning to minimise disruption to traffic. These deliveries will take place in September 2022 and during this time, there will be a temporary increase in the number of large vehicles arriving and departing the site. The site team will carefully manage these deliveries to avoid disruption to the local community. Please see page 2 for a map of the works and information on the machinery.
We will ensure that noise is kept within permitted levels using best practicable means, including sound barriers and dust suppressants onsite to minimise the impact of these works.
