What we are doing

Updates Diaphragm Wall Works

Earlier this year, we notified the community of our programme of piling and diaphragm wall activity as well as the concrete batching plant being constructed at the Old Oak Common Station Site. You can view those notifications here:

The concrete batching plant is still under construction, in preparation for the piling and diaphragm wall works. Once complete, the plant will produce the concrete that is required to reinforce the ground that is being excavated to form the new HS2 Station Box. However, until the plant is fully operational at the end of July, we still require concrete to be delivered to site by concrete lorries.

Increased vehicle movements from Old Oak Common station site
From 1 to 31 July there will be an increase in concrete deliveries to enable the diaphragm wall activity. Lorries will travel from Victoria Road onto Old Oak Common Lane where they will access the site. These deliveries will assist with the safe completion of large concrete pours required for ground reinforcement works. Deliveries and concrete pours will take place during the extended working hours that were agreed with London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham (LBHF) in January 2021. This will be from 8am to 10pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 5pm on Saturdays. However, we will only work during the extended hours when necessary and we do not anticipate that the extra hours will be required on every weekday, or Saturday.

The increase in diaphragm wall activity will produce a large amount of excavated material which will need to be removed from site. Therefore, there will be an increase in tipper lorries required to transport excavated waste material to our waste transfer facility at the Willesden Euro Terminal, 1km from site. The tipper lorries will be using Old Oak Lane and Channel Gate Road from 8am to 6pm on Monday to Friday and from 8am to 5pm on Saturdays. This will continue throughout 2021.

Throughout these works, we will monitor to ensure that noise and dust does not exceed current permitted levels. Vehicle wheels will be washed and truck beds covered to prevent an increase in dust.
