What we are doing
In order to construct the railway it is necessary to commission a new National Grid substation. To connect the new substation to the existing electricity network new 33,000volt cables need to be installed.
National Grid need to install a new cable circuit from a connection position at Meaford Substation to the new substation location in land off Yarnfield Lane in Stone, Staffordshire.
One of National Grids framework contractors will carry out initial ground investigation surveys on the land where the proposed substation is to be built.
From Monday the 16th October 2023, four boreholes and two trial pits will be drilled and excavated, samples will be taken and stored in a small compound from where they will be collected for laboratory testing. The site will be fenced and secured for the duration of the works.
