News on HS2 in Northants

We are starting the early construction works for the green tunnel which is 2.5km long for the new railway that passes Chipping Warden and Aston Le Walls.

The work will involve:

1. Setting up a works compound

2. Localised clearance of vegetation

3. Checking airfield is clear before we remove the topsoil

4. Removal of topsoil and storing it in earth bunds

5. Drainage and creation of settlement ponds and access roads

6. Excavation, movement and storage of earthworks

The works compound that we will use is part of the existing construction compound being used by Fusion for the roadworks around Chipping Warden.
