What we are doing
Water main trial hole surveys on Hampstead Road
We have been carrying out utilities works to the west of Euston station. As part of this, we will be carrying out potable water trial hole surveys on Hampstead Road in August 2022.
Update on utilities works to the west of Euston Station
We have been undertaking an essential programme of works to replace and upgrade utilities from April 2022. This includes carrying out surveys to help us determine and test the condition of the utilities. We are also carrying out works including installations, upgrades and asset protection to water pipes, gas pipes and diversions to other utilities including UK Power Network cables on the following roads: Hampstead Road, Robert Street, Euston Road, North Gower Street, Starcross Street, Drummond Street, Euston Street and Cobourg Street.
Update on ongoing works at the former National Temperance Hospital
Enabling works at the former National Temperance Hospital-North is anticipated to be completed by September 2022. Test piling at the former National Temperance Hospital-South is anticipated to be carried out from August to October 2022.
We have been progressing the enabling works and have completed local utility diversions, footpath widening, pile extractions, pile cap removal, petrol tank removal and basement retaining wall removals. The remaining works include the removal of temporary sheet piles before a piling mat will be installed across the site using compacted aggregates. Once the piling mat has been installed, piling works are planned to commence to continue installing the west station wall. These piling works are planned to commence from September to January 2023. We will also be returning the hoarding alignment to its previous position and removing the footpath widening installed within the bus lane.
Update on ongoing works at the former Maria Fidelis School
Once concrete pouring is complete, we will install a steel frame in August as part of the new superstructure for the Maria Fidelis accommodation block. The frame will be delivered via Cardington Street onto site using articulated wagons. A crane will then lift the frame into position. Once in place, it will be bolted down to the concrete using torque wrenches. Following this, works will commence on placing the cabins into position from late August to October 2022. The cabins will be delivered onto site via Cardington Street on extendable low loaders. A mobile crane will then be used to lift the building cabins into position above the foundation and ground floor steel frame. Once in place, the frame will be bolted down using torque wrenches.
