What we are doing
What we are doing
We wrote to you in April to advise you that we would be carrying out surveys of the gas main located on Eastcote Lane bridge (see map) from 25 April to 13 May 2022. However, these works did not go ahead as planned and have now been rescheduled to take place on 27 June to 15 July 2022.
These surveys will provide us with information on the condition of the existing utility services and help us to decide how best to protect them, ahead of tunnelling later this year.
To access the gas main, we will need to dig a trench. We will then drill into the gas main so that we can insert a special camera to carry out the survey. Some vegetation will be cleared in the embankment area to allow for clear access to our working area, to carry out the installation.
Following completion of the surveys, we will fill in the trench and reinstate the road surface.
How these surveys might affect you
Due to the location of the gas main within the road it will be necessary to close the bridge for the duration of the surveys. We will maintain pedestrian access across the bridge, by carrying out the surveys in two phases. Detail of dates and locations are shown on the maps overleaf.
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.
