What we are doing
Upcoming utility surveys
We will be carrying out overnight utility trial hole surveys on Arley Road from Monday 22 August until Saturday 27 August. To complete the utility trial hole inspections, we will use a vacuum excavator, which uses compressed air to loosen or agitate the ground. The loosened material is then removed using the vacuum on the machine creating a hole. At times we will also use hand digging tools to excavate the trial holes. Once the surveys are carried out, we will backfill and reinstate all the trial holes.
These surveys will help us to plan where utility diversions will be required as we prepare to construct the railway in Birmingham.
We do not expect this activity to cause high levels of noise or vibration.
Road closure and temporary traffic lights
To be able to carry out these inspections safely and effectively, we will need to put in place a road closure on Arley Road. We will also need to install temporary two-way traffic lights along a section of Aston Church Road. The closure and temporary lights will be in place from 9.00pm until 5.00am.
Access to properties and businesses will be maintained throughout.
