What we are doing
SCSJV Old Oak Common East Box mobilisation
Earlier this year, we let you know about the Atlas Road Logistics Tunnel (ARLT), which we will build to connect the Atlas Road site to the BBVS Old Oak Common Station site. The ARLT will allow us to move materials underground, reducing the number of vehicles on local roads.
As part of the next phase of the Euston tunnelling works, from 14 November 2023, SCSJV will establish a site in the eastern end of the Old Oak Common Station site.

What to Expect
Mobilisation of the site will last approximately two months, with operatives working during our core hours. Works will include the construction of a waterproofed concrete slab; the ARLT Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) extraction slab; temporary mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) installation; and hoarding erection within the east box area.
We do not anticipate any noticeable difference to levels of environmental disruption such as dust and noise from works currently taking place within the Old Oak common site. We will continue to work collaboratively with BBVS to monitor our works throughout and ensure any disruption is kept to a minimum.
Future works
In early 2024, we will extract the ARLT TBM at Old Oak Common East Box.
Separately, we will be building two sprayed concrete lining (SCL) tunnels, starting at Old Oak Common East Box and travelling up to 150m towards Euston (still finishing within the East Box).
From here, SCSJVs tunnelling team will install two TBMs at the Old Oak Common East Box which will tunnel towards the HS2 Euston site in the future.
Further details about these phases of works will be communicated in the future.
