What we are doing
Over the weekend of 3 and 4 June, we will build a seventh tower crane at Old Oak Common.
This tower crane will be built using a mobile crane which will be delivered to site on Saturday 3 June.
The mobile crane will be delivered by four large articulated trucks that will travel along the A40 and up Victoria Road, passing the Atlas Road roundabout to Old Oak Common Lane. Due to the size of the trucks, the deliveries cannot take place during normal working hours.
The mobile crane will arrive on site at approximately 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 on 4 June between 6pm and 10pm.
There is a possibility that bad weather conditions or program changes could impact the tower crane installation date. If this happens, installation will take place later in the week and we will notify you about this change.
The crane will be installed so that it does not overlook the public highway or any homes. Once installed the crane will be in operation from 5 June onwards during normal working hours Monday – Friday 8am – 6pm and Saturday 8am – 6pm. The tower crane works are expected to be completed in 2026.
For further details and noise mitigation measure during the installation please see notification below.
