What we are doing
We will be carrying out overnight Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveys over a week’s duration, starting on the 20 September. Our GPR surveys will start in locations along Crawford Street and Cranby Street overnight on Tuesday 21 September and Wednesday 22 September.
They will continue on Cranby Street overnight on Thursday 23 September, Friday 24 September and Monday 27 September. Our final location of survey works will be overnight on Adderley Road on Tuesday 28 September. Dates are subject to the progress of the surveys programme.
GPR surveys are non-intrusive, they are completed using a machine which transmits an electromagnetic pulse into the ground. These pulses reflect off features in the ground, allowing us to identify the location and depth of buried utility services.
To be able to carry out these inspections safely and effectively, we will need to put in place road closures with a diversion route along sections of Crawford Street and Cranby Street. As well as this, we will implement a 3-way traffic light system on Adderley Road and close Adderley Gardens Road. This traffic management will be in place from 9.00pm to 5.00am. Access to properties and businesses will be maintained at all times.
