What we are doing
Installation of Ground Anchors
As part of our works to prepare for the construction of the ventilation shaft, we wrote to you in February 2022 about the installation of Ground Anchors on our Adelaide Road site.
Ground Anchors are lightweight, corrosive resistant rods or cables installed into the ground to hold, restrain, and support buildings, civil engineering works and other structures.
The installation of Ground Anchors on our Adelaide Road site will pass beneath the footway, road, and properties from the Network Rail embankment area; the northern side of Adelaide Road; the eastern side of the Nature Reserve.
These works are due to take place in May 2022. We anticipate that the Ground Anchors will be installed in three phases and will take up to 19 weeks to install.
How will they be installed?
The ground anchors at our Adelaide Road site will pass beneath the footway, road, and properties from Network Rail embankment area to the northern side of Adelaide Road and eastern side of the Nature
Reserve. We will drill a hole from track-side to pass through the retaining wall and beneath the street and properties. Then we will install a liner and steel reinforcement, followed by grout.
We will install 235 anchors which will be up to 35 metres long and one to three metres apart.
No additional traffic management will be required.
Upcoming works on Adelaide Road
From summer 2022, we will be carrying out additional utility works on Adelaide Road. These works are needed to ensure we protect utility services while we build HS2. These works include a proposed road
closure at the junction of Adelaide Road with Eton Road.
As part of our ongoing commitment to keeping local residents informed, we will be carrying out further engagement about these works over the coming weeks. We will write to residents with further information shortly.
The dates mentioned in this notification may change due to unforeseen circumstances. We will provide updates about our works at HS2incamden.co.uk
