What we are doing
We will be carrying out surveys and investigating ground conditions in your area
HS2 Ltd are proposing changes to Hanchurch Interchange to help manage traffic flows during the construction of HS2. To inform the design of these changes, Balfour Beatty will carry out surveys and ground investigation commencing in June. The survey works will be ‘non-intrusive’ and include land, CCTV of drains and environmental surveys. The ground investigation ‘intrusive’ work will follow and will involve using drilling rig equipment and excavators to drill ‘boreholes’ in the ground and take samples for analysis. We’ll also dig shallow ‘trial pits’ to study ground conditions. We will need to remove some vegetation before the investigations start.
We will be working on land either side of the A500 Queensway, the A519 Newcastle Road and Clayton Road to carry out all surveys.
The ground investigation will be carried out in four phases with most work carried out during the night, except for works on the A519 Newcastle Road and Clayton Road, which will be done during the day on consecutive Sundays.
We expect to complete all works over a twelve-week period.
