Notice of surveys on Eccleshall Road, Yarnfield Lane and A34

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.

While we carry out the ground penetrating surveys, we will also 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 from Monday 15 November to Friday 3 December. 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 will this affect your journey

We will carry out the ground penetrating survey 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 there will be enough space to allow you to get past.

To carry out our surveys safely, we will need to use temporary traffic lights. The set up will differ on each day as we move along the road, such as 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 08:00am to 17:00pm at the following locations, dates, and times:
• Monday 15 November to Thursday 18 November on Eccleshall Road
• Friday 19 November to Tuesday 23 November on Yarnfield Lane
• Wednesday 24 November to Friday 3 December on A34/Yarnfield Lane junction
