What we are doing
Installation and Maintenance of Monitoring Equipment
Ground movement monitoring equipment will be installed and maintained at Old Oak Common and the surrounding area until the 12 September. The monitoring equipment will be used for the protection of third-party assets during construction of the highspeed railway.
This monitoring is needed while the micro tunnelling takes place on Wormwood Scrubs to monitor any ground movement. For more information on the micro tunnelling, please the notifications here: https://www.hs2.org.uk/work-items/update-notice-of-micro-tunnelling-works-on-wormwood-scrubs/
During the installation and maintenance of the monitoring equipment, a small team of people will use handheld equipment to carry out routine checks. The monitoring systems are automated where possible to reduce the requirement for maintenance teams to re-visit each location.
The checks will take place on an ad hoc basis and will therefore not occur every evening or weekend.
This work is not noisy and will have minimal impact on the community. Vehicles and personnel will enter and exit site quietly to avoid unnecessary noise from site and around the local area.
Some of the work will need to be carried out on the railways and therefore working hours in these areas will be restricted to evenings and weekends – typically 22:00-06:00.
Any other works taking place will be within normal working hours which are Mondays to Fridays from 8am to 6pm and on Saturdays from 8am to 1pm.
Works for the installation and maintenance of monitoring equipment will be carried out both within the site boundary and the surrounding railways.
