What we are doing

As part of the substation installation, we will have 2no. Electrical Voltage Transformers delivered to our site.

These transformers will change the incoming voltage from 33kV down to 11kV so that we can eventually power the Tunnel Boring Machines at their required voltages.

Our transformers will be delivered at the weekend as they are coming directly from their delivery port, as they have been shipped from overseas. They are delivered through the night due to the load and will arrive at the West Ruislip portal in the morning in each instance.

The works to install these transformers will be carried out across the following weekends:

  • Transformer 1 delivery: Saturday 13th March and Sunday 14th March
  • Transformer 2 delivery: Saturday 27th March and Sunday 28th March

At present, these dates are planned with our suppliers, however should there be any changes to the delivery due to freight passing the UK border we will update all residents and businesses accordingly.
