What we are doing

Piling Works at Old Oak Common
As part of the wider site infrastructure works at the Old Oak Common station site, we will be doing some sheet piling works in the south boundary of the site, along the Great Western Mainline. Please see the map on Page 2 that shows the location of works.

The works will involve the use of a ‘silent piler’ pile press, piling rig and excavator with vibratory piling hammer attachment, see images of these on Page 2. This machinery will be brought into site and set up in advance of these works taking place. The works will be split into two phases of works.

The first phase of works in the west starting on 26 September 2022 and will take approximately 1 month to complete. The second phase of works in the east will start in December 2022 until February 2023. If there are any changes to these dates, we will provide an update on the HS2 website.

Works are not expected to be disruptive due to the works being away from resident properties. We will be using best practicable means to minimise any impacts from the works. This includes the use of acoustic blankets where practicable and dust suppressant. The piles will be installed using a silent piling technique which is vibration free. When bringing vehicles into and out of site, we will carefully manage this process and deliver briefings to ensure there is minimal disruption to residents during mobilisation of the machinery to site.

The working hours for this activity will take place during our working hours of 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday, and 8am to 1pm on Saturday. There will be no noisy works before 9am or after 5pm.
