What we are doing
Installation of concrete batching plant
We are installing a temporary concrete batching plant on-site that will be used to manufacture ready-mixed concrete for the construction of the new Old Oak Common Station. All work will take place within the existing Old Oak Common worksite.
We will deliver steelwork components by road using HGV lorries during normal working hours. The batching plant will be erected using a mobile crane and will include four steel silo tanks which will be installed vertically, and will be approximately 15.5 metres high.
Constructing aggregate storage bays
While the batching plant is being erected and commissioned, we will also be installing precast concrete panels that will form the storage bays for the materials being used to make the concrete. This will involve lifting panels into place to form the bays. These will be drilled into place.
Commissioning the plant
When the concrete batching plant has been set-up, there will be a period of commissioning that will involve deliveries of cement and other materials. These will be used to produce trial mixes of the ready-mix concrete required to build Old Oak Common station. The commissioning process will start from 16 April until 30 June. The batching plant will be fully operational on 1 July.
