Notice of surveys near Hamley Heath and Stockwell Heath

What we are doing

We will be carrying out ground penetrating surveys to help us identify the location of buried utility services, like gas, electric or water. These surveys are non-intrusive, we will use a machine that transmits an electromagnetic pulse into the ground. These pulses reflect off features in the ground, allowing us to collect data and to understand the depth of the buried utility services.
After our ground penetrating surveys, we will return to the area and carry out a number of other surveys. To carry out these surveys safely, we will need to put some daytime temporary traffic lights on some local roads.

When will the work take place?

This work will take place Wednesday 17 November for one day. We will return on Monday 6 December to Friday 15 December for the other survey work. We will be working Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm. Please note that all our planned roadworks may be subject to change due to weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances.

How this will affect your journey

We will carry out the ground penetrating radar (GPR) work using a vehicle that pulls along a machine. This will have little impact on traffic, although you may need to overtake the vehicle when safe to do. We will also carry out ‘mobile’ work in the area. This will involve the use of a vehicle with barriers around it protecting our team while they carry out surveys at the side of the road. There will be some space taken up on the road, but enough space to allow you to get past.

To carry out our surveys safely, we will need to put temporary traffic lights in place. The set up will differ on each day as we move along the road and maybe 2-way lights or 3-way lights, depending on location. We recognise that that this can be frustrating, but this is the least disruptive way of completing our survey work. We will put traffic lights in place from 8am to 5pm at the following locations:

• Wednesday 17 November GPR will take place on B5013, Moor Lane and Newlands Lane this will not need temporary traffic lights;
• Monday 6 December to Wednesday 13 December temporary traffic lights will move along the B5013, Moor Lane and Newlands Lane; and
• Thursday 14 December to Friday 15 December – ‘mobile’ work
