Details
From Monday 26 August, we will be potholing to locate underground services and test ground conditions along Brockworth Place.
This work will require Brockworth Place to be closed (in stages) during this time. If weather is unfavourable, this work will be carried out on a day following.
Traffic Impacts
- The staggered road closure will be in place from 8am until 4pm daily. There will be no access through the road closure during this time.
- The road closure will be installed in a staggered layout (starting from Zone 1 and working east to Zone 4) and residents will be individually liaised with regarding access during this time.
- We will only work in one zone at a time.
- Pedestrian access will be maintained around our work site. Our friendly staff will help people get around our site.
- We will need to restrict some on-street parking, so we will place no parking cones out before we start work. We will aim to minimise this as much as possible.
- Please be on the lookout for changes in traffic management and follow the signs. We know this work is disruptive so we appreciate your patience and understanding.
How do we carry out potholing?
- During potholing, a hydrovac will be on site. This machine uses high-pressure water and a powerful vacuum to remove soil, which is noisy work.
- The soil is then transferred to a debris tank to keep mess to a minimum. This is a safe, non-destructive and accurate way to remove soil or locate underground utilities, such as pipes, electrical cables and phone lines.
- Once the services have been located, the potholes will be backfilled and resurfaced.
Noise
There may be increased noise, dust and vibrations during work but it shouldn’t impact on your power, water, gas or phone services.
Safety
Safety is our biggest priority so please keep children and pets away from worksites.
Bins
Please put your bins out as usual before 6am on your collection day. Our crew will move and return them if needed.
