Update notice of night-time working hours at Old Oak Common

What we are doing

Night-time working
As part of our ongoing works at the Old Oak Common Station, we are constructing a new retaining wall along part of the southern boundary of the site, next to the Great Western Mainline (GWML).

These works began in January 2023 and are expected to finish by the end of September 2023. Due to the location of the works being next to the railway, some of the works will take place overnight between 7pm and 7am, with additional hours anticipated on some Saturdays between 1pm and 7pm.

The night shifts will operate on an ad-hoc basis during this period, with a small number of operatives on site completing works near to the railway tracks, over 200 meters away from properties. Site lighting that is required for these works will be directed away from residential properties.

Some concrete breaking will take place overnight and acoustic blankets will be placed around these activities to ensure noise is kept to a minimum.

Prior to the start of works, all workers will be briefed on the impact to the surrounding community of noise or vibration from the works, and the importance of entering and leaving site quietly.
