What we are doing
What we are doing
From 5 to 14 January 2022, we will investigate the condition of the gas and water pipes on West End Road in the areas shown on the map overleaf. We will use a ground penetrating radar to scan and identify the utilities under the road. We will be digging trial holes and taking measurements of the various gas and water pipes in the area to understand what condition they are in and how we need to protect them when we do further work in 2022. We expect this work to take about a week and a half.
Why are we doing the surveys?
We will be doing a lot more work in the wider Hillingdon area next year and we expect our main utilities’ protection works’ programme to start before spring 2022. We are talking to the council about how best to manage disruption.
We need to ensure that vital utilities such as gas, water, sewers, and electricity are protected from the impacts of our tunnelling works in the area which start next year. The surveys will help us understand how best to do that, and how to manage impacts on the community. In particular, these surveys will help us establish whether our utilities works on West End Road can be carried out using single lane closures instead of a full road closure.
We would like to apologise in advance for the disruption or inconvenience this may cause. Every effort is being taken to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum.
