What works are taking place?
In order to construct the railway, we need to supply electricity to our compounds and work sites. SSEN will be working in your area to upgrade the local electricity network so these supplies can be provided.

Starting on 21 March SSEN will begin works to install a high voltage underground cable as part of planned upgrade works along Copthall Road West. We expect these works to last for six weeks. Works will
require excavation of trenches along the roadside and work will be done sequentially to reduce the impact on nearby properties.

Any Public Rights of Way will be maintained wherever possible. While works are taking place access will be managed by on site staff with signage and traffic marshalling for pedestrians. We do not anticipate any interruption to your electricity supply. Further works will be required in Breakspear Road to complete these upgrades. We will write to residents with further information in due course.

Advance warning signage will be put in place prior to the works taking place. Please note works are subject to change and may change due to the impact of the weather or programme changes. HS2 and SSEN will do all we can to keep you updated regarding changes to access and works progress. Further information on local impacts and access arrangements will be distributed by SSEN when works commence.

In order to carry out these works safely, a lane closure will be in place for the duration, between our site car park and the railway bridge.
We will ensure that disruption is kept to a minimum.

  Harvil Road: We wrote to you previously to let you know that we would be carrying out utility connections from Saturday 12 March to Tuesday 15 March 2022. However, we now require additional time to complete these works which will be extended until Thursday 17 March 2022.   We would like to apologise in advance for any disruption or inconvenience this may cause. Every effort is being taken to ensure that these works are carried out in the least impactful way.

How may this affect you? We may need to temporarily suspend some parking bays in Copthall Road West and residents may experience some short delays when accessing residential driveways during works hours. This should only be the case when SSEN are working directly in front of a resident’s property. The works will require trenches to be dug along the street. This may mean that a small number of driveways are inaccessible for short periods whilst the team completes the trench-work. SSEN will notify you in advance when they are working in front of your property. The existing cable is in the pavement /footpath and will not necessitate a lane closure. There will be some works in the carriageway to allow lorries to collect excavated material and some noise from these excavations and vehicle movements, but we expect this to be for short periods during the day

Duration of works
Work will be undertaken from: 21 March 2022 – 2 May 2022

HS2 earth conveyor construction works

Posted on by

HS2 Works Notification: Construction of TBM conveyor north of the Chiltern Line 

Over the coming months, we will be carrying out works to construct and install the conveyor that will transport earth excavated from the tunnels at West Ruislip Portal to the treatment area, south of the Chiltern Line railway and the Copthall Tunnel for backfill.

From 27 March to 1 July 2022, we will start constructing the foundation base and assembling the conveyor along the northern side of the Chiltern Line.  You will be able to find more detail about working hours, precise locations and description of these works via the link below.

https://www.hs2.org.uk/work-items/construction-of-the-tbm-conveyor-north-of-the-chiltern-line/

What we are doing
Over the coming months, we will be carrying out works to construct and install the conveyor that will transport earth excavated from the tunnels at West Ruislip Portal to the treatment area, south of the Chiltern Line railway and the Copthall Tunnel for backfill. The area is shown on the map overleaf.

From 27 March to 1 July 2022, we will start constructing the foundation base and assembling the conveyor along the northern side of the Chiltern Line. This will require us to install four bridges, as shown overleaf.

Due to the proximity of these works to the Chiltern Line and for safety reasons, some activities will be carried out at night when trains are not running.

The first excavated earth from the tunnel will be stored in a designated area within the site boundary at West Ruislip Portal until November 2022. This will allow us to complete the construction of the conveyor up to the treatment area. The excavated earth will also be used for landscaping the golf course.

HS2 concrete pour revision

Posted on by
Due to the inclement weather recently, the contractors are behind schedule and need to reschedule concrete pouring.

The good news is that as the concrete mix is coming from skip Lane they can now use their haul road one way from Harvil to west Ruislip

The empty hgvs will exit west Ruislip and go back via Ickenham village.

Their tunnel boring appears also to be late..now commencing 31 May.

They have obviously finalised thir plans for dumping of spoil..they plan an open day on March 7 for residents to show the plans.
