What we are doing
Mobile Crane Installation
We previously notified you about the third tower crane’s arrival at Old Oak Common. Unfortunately, the delivery was not able to take place as planned on 10 August. Therefore, this work will now take place between 11 – 12 August.
The tower crane will be built using a mobile crane which will be delivered to site on 11 August 2022.
The mobile crane will be delivered along with four large articulated trucks. These trucks will travel along the A40 and up Victoria Road, passing the Atlas Road roundabout to Old Oak Common Lane. Because of the size of the trucks, delivery cannot take place during normal working hours. To ensure that the delivery does not cause traffic or impact the safety of other road users, the crane will arrive on site at around 4am and be set-up between 4am and 8am.
Once the mobile crane has finished building the tower crane, it will be taken down and removed from the site. This will take place between 6pm and 10pm on 12 August 2022.
During out of hours work, the operatives installing the crane will use hand signals to communicate and the only sound should be the crane’s engine as it goes up. This work is not expected to cause a disruption.
