What we are doing

Erection of Headhouse steel frame
From 29 July to 23 September 2024, we will begin works to erect the structural steel frame of the headhouse. These works will take place during our core working hours.
The headhouse is the building on top of the ventilation shaft which contains the fire control and ventilation systems for the railway tunnels below.

What to expect
Works will include the following activities:

Steel deliveries (up to two per day)
Steel works and fixings
Use of cranes for lifting operations
Installation of metal decking to form the floors within the headhouse

What we will do
We do not anticipate these planned works to be disruptive, but you may experience normal construction noise and activity throughout.
We will continue to monitor our activities and implement best practice methods to ensure that works are carried out safely and with the aim to minimise disruption.
We understand that our activities may have an impact on residents and businesses near the site.
Your local engagement team are happy to speak with you in person or virtually about any questions or concerns you may have about our works in your local area.
