What we are doing
We wrote to you in December 2024 to update you on works for the retained embankments construction at our site on Breakspear Road South, from 17 June 2024 to 31 March 2025.
We are building the embankments using lorries to deliver aggregate, machinery to place the material and compaction equipment, including vibratory rollers.
These works have been delayed due to reduced availability of lorry deliveries. Our permitted lorry movements are limited, and we had to use some of them to move tunnelling materials off-site during this period of works.
In addition, heavy rain in January and February made it impossible to carry out the required compaction tests for the embankments. As a result, we now expect to complete the works by 5 May 2025.
We need 11,000 tonnes of material to complete the embankments, using lorries for delivery of aggregate, machinery to place the material, and compaction plants, including vibratory rollers.
These works create some noise due to the use of ground compaction equipment and excavator activities. Every effort is being taken to ensure that these works are carried out in the least impactful way, and we will ensure that disruption is kept to a minimum.
For further details please see update notification below.
