News on HS2 in Kilburn & Northolt

We are planning to carry out piling works at our Westgate Site in Hanger Hill from early-April 2021 for up to three weeks. These works are needed to stabilise the ground and protect the Network Rail tracks while we build a ventilation shaft at this site. We will be reducing the ground level in our site by three metres, in preparation prior to building the ventilation shaft.

We will be installing sheet piles at our Westgate site. Sheet piles are commonly used for retaining walls and underground structures to provide stability and support during excavation works. These are sections of sheet metal with interlocking edges that are pushed into the ground along an area where future excavation work will take place. When arranged side by side, the sheet piles form a wall to provide permanent or temporary earth support.
