What we are doing
As you may be aware, the new HS2 railway will pass above one of our existing gas pipelines in Marston. National Grid will divert the pipeline in 2023, so it can continue to operate safely and reliably.
To ensure we have a better understanding of the surrounding area, the contractor, Wood, will carry out ecological surveys in the vicinity of Marston. They’ll periodically visit the site from the end of April, for a day at a time, for around four months.
Another contractor, Network Archaeology Ltd, will also carry out archaeological surveys from mid to late-May, which we expect will take around three weeks. Those closest to the site may notice a team of up to eight people in vehicles using hand-held equipment
while the surveys are underway. None of the work will affect gas supplies.
