Acton Yard Crossrail Works Fr 14th Jun to Fr 19th Jul

Dear all For your information:Acton Yard Crossrail Works: Information Bulletin(Friday 14 June – Friday 19 July 2013)We have now moved into the main phase of the works at Acton diveunder with piling works for the diveunder progressing well. As notified in May, we are now working additional weeknights to do overhead line piling works, following considerable engineering delays on this section of the project. We have permission from Ealing Council to work Monday to Thursday nights until the end of November 2013, although we aim to do piling only some of these nights. The way we install piles depends on the ground conditions. We aim to use the quieter vibration method as far as possible, which vibrates the piles into place. However, this machine cannot work in particularly hard ground, and in that case we would have to use the noisier hammer pile method.Below covers the works scheduled to take place over the next month. All works highlighted in red are particularly likely to be noisy. Weekdays Date and time Monday 17 June to Thursday 20 June (01.00 – 04.00)Type of work Piling for overhead line equipmentLocation From Horn Lane Bridge to the west of Noel Road Bridge, opposite Oakley AvenueDisruption This involves driving tubular steel foundations into the ground and is likely to generate some hammering noise and possible vibration.Daytime (08.00 – 18.00) Installation of guidewalls for the eastern section of the diveunder Works at Oakley House.
