What we are doing
As part of our works at the Wendover North Cutting, we will be carrying out excavation works on the Low Permeability Wall. The wall will be built in sections, each extending deep into the underlying clay to ensure a stable and water-resistant barrier.
To maintain the stability of the wall during construction, slurry is used. The fluid solidifies over time, forming a part of the wall itself. Due to the specific setting time of this fluid, it is essential that work on each section is completed within a day. Therefore, our work will need to be carried out during extended hours, including time on the weekend.
To support the excavation activity during our extended working hours, there will be an increase in our vehicle movements as we will be required to transport spoil, raw material and water.
