What we are doing
Update: 24 hour works in Camden Cutting worksite
We are carrying out a trial in Camden Cutting worksite, to test one of the methods we will use to reduce ground movement during tunnelling in the Euston Approaches. The trial was planned for late February to early April, but due to delays will now be carried out from April to June (about two months).
This method involves injecting grout (similar to concrete) beneath the ground at high pressure. The grout strengthens the ground and reduces movement by filling small underground cracks and crevices. Once we begin injecting the grout, we must continue until the section is complete, so it doesn’t dry out. For this reason, we will carry out the trial up to 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday.
We are carrying out the trial in an underground shaft. These works will not be noisy, and we do not expect residents to notice the trial.
