What we are doing
High Speed Two (HS2) is the new high-speed railway for Britain. Working on behalf of HS2 Ltd, National Grid is legally required to move a number of overhead electricity lines, pylons and gas pipelines along the HS2 route to allow for the build and operation of the new railway.
The new HS2 railway will pass above one of our existing gas pipelines in Crewe. Around January 2024 to December 2024, we’ll divert this pipeline so it can continue to operate safely and reliably.
To inform the design for the diversion, our contractor, Fastflow, will excavate three trial pits around the existing gas pipeline near Gonsley Green Farm in Crewe. From around mid-July, a team of up to eight people in vehicles using equipment including an excavator, will carry out the work. We expect it’ll take a few days to complete. None of our work will affect gas supplies.
