Upgrading utilities: Installing temporary cable diversion

What we are doing

As we continue with the works at Old Oak Common Station, we need to renew the old and outdated 132kV UKPN electrical cables behind properties 53 to 135 Wells House Road. This requires a temporary diversion (more information on page 3) which we’ll be starting in November. We will then upgrade existing cables to ensure the modernisation of the network ahead of the opening of the station.

They need to do this work as part of our wider utility improvement plan to modernise the current outdated network as part of a risk mitigation strategy to allow for further construction works.

These works will take place during core working hours, Monday to Friday 08:00 to 18:00, Saturday and Sunday 08:00 to 13:00.
