Update: Testing of conveyor structure

What we are doing

Conveyor update
Works are continuing to construct the conveyor system between our sites in the Old Oak and North Acton area to allow for the movement of excavated material between sites. The conveyor system will help reduce the construction traffic on the local roads while we build HS2.

The conveyor structure is being jointly built by HS2’s contactors in the area, SCSJV and BBVS.

BBVS have tested their section of the conveyor within the Old Oak Common Station site up to the bridge crossing over Old Oak Common Lane.

The remaining BBVS sections of the conveyor, to the south of Wells House Road into the Flat Iron Site (location 4 on the map on the following page), will be tested and commissioned, from 18 July. The BBVS conveyor is planned to be fully operational from week commencing 8 August.

SCSJV will start testing and commissioning for the SCSJV section of the conveyor the week of 15 August 2022 until the end of October 2022, when the conveyor will be fully operational. SCSJV will start testing and commissioning at our Atlas Road site (location 2 on the map) before moving to our Willesden Euroterminal site (location 1 on the map) and finally our sites on Victoria Road (location 3 & 4 on the map).

These works are not expected to be noisy, however there may be an audible humming noise when the conveyor runs and some other mechanical noises whilst testing is carried out. Noise from the conveyor safety start-up alarm may also be audible for short periods. We will ensure that noise is kept within permitted levels and use best practicable means, to minimise any impact on our site neighbours.
The dates outlined in this notification may change. We will provide updates at HS2.org.uk.
