What we are doing
We are now preparing to complete the final stages of the diversion to the Washwood Heath Brook that runs within our Drews Lane site. To complete the works we will need to excavate deep into the ground, in a series of sections using large machinery and excavating equipment. We will also be removing the existing sheet piles, which were used to provide a temporary foundation for the diverted brook. This will allow for construction of a reinforced concrete structure. We expect to start works on Monday 13 May and expect completion of the brook diversion and its associated landscaping by early 2025.
You may notice an increase in the levels of noise and vibration as we carry out these works. We will use best practicable means to ensure that we are minimising our impact on the local community and the surrounding environment. This will include the use of noise reduction barriers and cutting sheet piles rather than extracting them to reduce vibrations. We will continue to use our on-site monitors to check that we are working within safe and permitted levels.
