What we are doing
We will be carrying out utility trial hole surveys in locations along Cranby Street from Wednesday 19 May to Friday 21 May.
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.
To be able to carry out these inspections safely and effectively, we will need to put in place temporary traffic lights on sections of Adderley Road and Cranby Street. The lights will be in place from 9.30am until 3.30pm. Access to properties and businesses will be maintained at all times.
