What we are doing

What we are doing
In preparation for the start of tunnelling later this year, we need to investigate how best to protect the local sewer and water pipework in the area. From 10 February to 8 March 2022, we will be carrying out ground investigation works on Great Central Avenue, Station Approach and Long Drive, in the areas shown on the maps overleaf and in phases as below. The investigations will involve the use of scanning equipment to identify utilities in the area. We will also dig trial holes to take measurements and ground samples.

Phase 1
10 – 11 February – Trial holes and ground penetrating radar on Great Central Avenue at the junction with Station Approach

Phase 2
14 – 25 February – Trial hole investigations within the road on Station Approach/Long Drive

Phase 3
28 February – 4 March – Trial hole investigations within the footway on Long Drive

Phase 4
7 and 8 March – Ground penetrating radar surveys on Long Drive

How the surveys might affect you
Temporary traffic management and clear diversion route to access Great Central Avenue will be in place to ensure the trial holes and surveys can be carried out safely. 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.
