Notice of removal of concrete trial beams – Washwood Heath

What we are doing

From Monday 31 October until Friday 16 November we plan to remove some concrete trial beams located on our site.
The beams were created to test the strength of the concrete ahead of constructing the new structures. We need to remove these to create space for the construction works.

We will need to dismantle the concrete trial beams using hammers and excavation equipment. We will then use dumper trucks to load material that will be deposited and crushed within an area of our site.
The trial beams are very large measuring approximately 120 metres long, 1.5 metres high and 0.6 metres wide, this means they can be difficult to break. As we remove the trial beams neighbours can therefore expect to hear moderate noise and may feel low levels of vibration.
Once we have completed this work, we will be using the cleared area as a storage location for our tipper trucks. We will only ever use tipper trucks between the hours of 8.00am – 3.30pm.

To help reduce the impact associated with these works we will regularly monitor our noise, vibration and dust to ensure we are working to the required limits and reducing our impact and disruption on our neighbours and community.
If you believe your individual circumstances makes you more sensitive to the impacts of these works, please do contact us.
