What we are doing
Wormwood Scrubs micro-tunnelling
A 1200mm pipe will need to be installed as part of Stamford Brook Sewer (SBS) diversion to allow for building the Station Box foundations. The pipe will be installed below the Network Rail tracks and IEP Building.
To complete this work, we will be using micro-tunnelling. This work will be completed by using a tunnel boring machine, which will be installed in Wormwood Scrubs and will be driven towards the Station Box on the Old Oak Common Station site. Only a single micro-tunnel will be installed in this part of the Scrubs.
For safety reasons, the micro-tunnelling works will be 24/7 whilst the tunnels are under construction.
