What we are doing
Extended working hours for a concrete pour
On 5 August, we will be completing a single concrete pour so that we can construct the propping beams and slabs in the West Box. The beams will give the underground station box overall structural support and the slabs will form the roof of the station box, both integral parts of the design. Please see the map overleaf for the location of these works.
For safety reasons a concrete pour must be completed in one session. If stopped for any length of time and then restarted, a cold joint can occur within the concrete causing the column to weaken. This is not achievable within the current working hours and therefore requires longer working hours to complete the pour successfully. On the day of the concrete pour, working hours will be between 8:00am – 8:00pm. The pour will also require additional supporting vehicles to be on site.
Noise and dust
This activity is not noisy, and we do not expect it to disturb the community. However, additional acoustic blankets will be placed around the activity. Vehicles and personnel will enter and exit site quietly to avoid unnecessary noise around the local area. We will continually monitor noise and dust levels throughout the works.
