What we are doing

**UPDATE**

We previously notified that these works would take place on Friday 7 July and Saturday 8 July. Due to re-programming, we will now complete this work on Friday 14 July from 7.00pm until an estimated time of 6.00pm on Saturday 15 July. As part of this work we will deliver concrete to our site overnight from 7.00pm on Friday evening until Saturday morning at 8.00am.

To continue our works for Water Orton Viaducts, that will carry the HS2 railway over the M42 M6 Toll, we will complete a concrete pour for pile caps. A pile cap is a concrete mat that is laid above the piles to provide a stable foundation for us to build the structure.

Due to the hot weather expected and to reduce disruption to the local road network, the pour will take place overnight from Friday 7 July at 8.00pm until Saturday 8 July, with an estimated completion time of 10.00am. However, due to the nature of the works, this may continue until 6.00pm on Saturday with deliveries of concrete taking place throughout the day.
