Notice of sheet piling work at Mandeville Road

What we are doing

Sheet piling
From 23 August to 1 October 2021, we will be installing the first line of sheet piles at the northern edge of our site as shown on the map below.  The work will help us to support the site and embankment during excavation works needed for the construction of the vent shafts Sheet piles are commonly used for retaining walls and underground structures to provide stability and support during excavation works.  These are sections of sheet metal with interlocking edges that are pushed into the ground along an area where future excavation work will take place. When arranged side by side, the sheet piles form a wall to provide permanent or temporary earth support.

We are planning to use a push pile method to place the piles into the ground. This method is the quietest method of piling possible for this site.  To install these piles, we will require a number of large cranes and piling rigs which will be visible on site.

How there works might affect you
You may experience a period of increased construction noise during this period. Noise and vibration monitoring will be in place throughout these works. We will use water sprays to reduce dust generated by construction activities.

Hours of work
Our working hours are Monday to Friday from 8am to 6pm and Saturday from 8am to 1pm.  Noise generating activities are scheduled after 8am and during standard construction hours where possible.

What to expect
During the works, you may notice much larger construction equipment and machinery in our site including heavy goods vehicles, piling, excavating machinery and cranes.
