What we are doing
Safe stop down to SCS works from 10 October
Safety is our number one priority at HS2. Following an incident that occurred at the Green Park Way site in Ealing, works are being safely halted across the London Tunnels section of the route, including sites in Brent. While no workers were physically harmed, our contractor, Skanska Costain STRABAG joint venture, is undertaking a comprehensive review of safety procedures and leadership on their sites before a safe restart can take place.
Works will be brought to a safe stop and will remain on hold until we’re satisfied that all appropriate measures are in place to protect the workforce. We anticipate the review may take a number of weeks depending on the area and the type of work involved.
We will provide details on when the safe stop will be in place over the course of the next week.
From Monday 14 July 2025 to Friday 18 July 2025, we will be installing new welfare facilities within our Canterbury Works Ventilation Shaft and Headhouse site during core working hours.
From 21 July 2025 to 17 July 2026, the welfare at the Canterbury Works site will be used during core hours by our staff. Waste material will be stored on site to support utilities works in South Hampstead.
The Canterbury Works site will remain in a ‘safe stop’ until further notice. No construction activities relating to the ventilation shaft and headhouse will be taking place on site during this time.
