What we are doing

Ground investigation works from 13 September

We will be carrying out ground investigation works in the Alperton Lane
area from 13 September until 17 October. These works will take place between 8am to 6pm on Mondays to Fridays. The ground investigation works will involve drilling two holes into the ground and installation of monitoring equipment below ground
on the main sewage pipes.

We are installing the monitoring equipment so we can monitor the condition of the sewage pipes while we build the HS2 tunnels. We will need to remove some low level vegetation such as shrubs and bushes within the Network Rail land. These works will take place before the ground investigation works.

We will use large drilling machines during these works and will put
mitigations in place such as noise blankets and water dampening down
of dust if required. These measures will help to keep any disruption to a
minimum.

Dates mentioned in this notification may change due to unforeseen
circumstances. We will continue to provide updates about our works at
