What we are doing
Installation of Ground Anchors
As part of our works to prepare for the construction of the ventilation shaft, we wrote to you earlier this year about the installation of ground anchors at our Adelaide Road site.
The installation dates have changed, and work will now start on 30 September 2022 and last for up to seven months.
Ground Anchors are lightweight, corrosive resistant rods or cables installed into the ground to hold, restrain, and support buildings, civil engineering works and other structures.
The installation of Ground Anchors on our Adelaide Road site will pass beneath the footway, road, and properties from the Network Rail embankment area; the northern side of Adelaide Road; the eastern side of the Nature Reserve.
How will they be installed?
The ground anchors at our Adelaide Road site will pass beneath the footway, road, and properties from Network Rail embankment area to the northern side of Adelaide Road and eastern side of the Nature Reserve. We will drill a hole from trackside to pass through the retaining wall and beneath the street and properties. Then we will install a liner and steel reinforcement, followed by grout.
We will install 235 anchors which will be up to 35 metres long and one to three metres apart.
The dates mentioned in this notification may change. We will provide updates about our works at HS2.org.uk/in-your-area
