What we are doing
What we are doing
In order to support the construction of the new HS2 tunnels, we need to carry out groundwater monitoring. On 4 December we will be drilling a new borehole and filling in another at the locations shown on the map on the pdf attachment.
Drilling the borehole should take around five days to complete but during these works, we will erect the necessary hoarding around the area and install a secure cover. We will place barriers around the borehole to be filled which will take up to three hours to complete. The barrier around the borehole will remain in place until the subcontractor returns on the third day to check the work and it is then complete.
We hope to complete these works by 8 December. However, if we encounter any issues whilst working it may be necessary to complete the works during the week commencing 11 December.
How these works might affect you
The drilling could be noisy as we create the new borehole. It will be in use for approximately five years so that we can carry out groundwater monitoring on a regular basis.
We would like to apologise in advance for the disruption or inconvenience this may cause. Every effort is being taken to ensure that these works are carried out in the least impactful way.
We will ensure that disruption is kept to a minimum.
