What we are doing
Utility ground investigation in Bridgwater Road Fields
What we are doing
We wrote to you in December last year to let you know that we would be carrying out utility surveys on Bridgwater Road. During those works, we found a cast iron pipe not detailed on the local records which needs further investigation to understand its status. These surveys will be carried out from 6 to 10 June 2022.
We will investigate the condition of the gas main pipe within Bridgwater Road fields and carry out a hand dug trial hole to expose the pipe to understand how it connects to the network of utilities. This will help us inform the design for the programme of utility works that are due to start in the summer.
We have put precautionary measure in place and have requested that Cadent Gas who own the asset are present while we undertake this survey.
How these works might affect you
The ground investigation will be adjacent to your properties within Bridgwater Road fields and are non-intrusive. There will be a mobile welfare unit parked closed to the entrance of the fields. The map overleaf shows our works area and where the welfare unit will be positioned.
Your utility service will not be affected.
Pipework installation between South Ruislip and Yeading Brook
What we are doing
We wrote to you in April, to update you on the installation of the pipeline from our site at South Ruislip to Yeading Brook. The link to this notification can be found here: Yeading Brook pipeline install
We are continuing with these works and from 30 May to 22 July 2022, we will start to install pipework along the railway embankment from Bridgwater Road to Yeading Brook.
This phase of the pipe installation from Bridgwater Road, will involve material and equipment being delivered across the park on temporary matting to protect the ground as the lorry delivers the equipment. The matting will be in place for a week and then reinstalled at the end of the work to help remove the equipment.
A welfare vehicle will be positioned on temporary matting to the north of the rail bridge on Bridgwater Road during this time to reduce the damage to the grass verge.
Work will be carried out during core working hours, Monday to Friday 8am – 6pm and Saturday 8am to 1pm, however there may be periods when installation will be undertaken at night as required by Network Rail.
