What we are doing
What are we doing?
We will be starting work to move an existing gas pipeline near the A51, north east of Swynnerton, in early 2022. Before we move the pipeline, we need to carry out some surveys on land either side of the A51 near where it crosses the M6, to understand more about the land we’ll be working in. We will be starting to carry out the surveys from 21 June 2021.
The work will involve:
- Setting up a small welfare cabin
- Securing our working area with fencing.
- Drilling boreholes and digging small pits so we can take samples of the ground to analyse.
Vehicles will be accessing our working area off Swynnerton Road, via A51. Signage may be installed on the roadside at this location, to ensure safe access and exit for vehicles.
There will be 24-hour security on site so we can maintain a safe working environment. Please note, there will be no on-site lodging.
