Notice of soil replacement in the West Ruislip area

What we are doing

We will be preparing the ground that will form the base of the new rail line by excavating the soil and replacing it with an aggregate based material.

This base will extend from what will be the portal area to the start of the bridge that will be erected over Breakspear Road South. We will excavate the soil to a depth of approximately 1.5m using bulldozers and excavators and replace with aggregate. Once it is laid the material will be compacted using rollers to create a solid base upon which the ballast and rail lines will be placed at a later stage.

This work will begin in late February and will then align with the start of the foundation works for the bridges that will eventually go over the River Pinn and Breakspear Road South.
