What we are doing
We will be carrying out Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveys in locations along Erskine Street and Inkerman Street on Tuesday 3 August, 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 a road closure along sections of Erskine Street and Inkerman Street. The closure will be in place from 9.00pm to 5.00am. Although there is no diversion route in place access to properties and businesses will be maintained at all times.
