What we are doing

From 15 February to 31 August 2024, we will be building the reinforced concrete headhouse structure within the Westgate site, situated between the River Brent and West Gate.

A headhouse is the building on top of the ventilation shaft which contains the fire control and ventilation systems for the railway tunnels below. The headhouse will also include a fan room

The concrete walls of this structure will be between 10 and 14 metres high.
Most of the works will be carried out during our core hours, but some will need to take place outside core hours for safety reasons.
