What we are doing
We will be carrying out overnight utility trial hole surveys on High Street from Monday 14 November until Friday 18 November. These surveys will help us to plan where utility diversions will be required as we prepare to construct the railway in Birmingham.
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.
We do not expect this activity to cause high levels of noise or vibration.
