HS2 will begin more works in the eastern part of Old Oak common for approximately two months, from 14 November,

As part of the next phase of the Euston tunnelling works, HS2 plans to build a waterproofed concrete slab; the ARLT (Atlas Road Logistics Tunnel) Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) extraction slab.

They also plan to instal temporary mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) and hoarding erection within the east box area. 

The ARLT will allow HS2 to move materials underground, reducing the number of vehicles on local roads.

HS2 says there will not be "any noticeable difference" in noise levels and environmental changes throughout the works. 

Additionally, it plans to build two sprayed concrete lining (SCL) tunnels, starting at Old Oak Common East Box and travelling up to 150m towards Euston, finishing within the East Box. 

The SCSJVs tunnelling team will then install two TBMs at the Old Oak Common East Box which will tunnel towards the HS2 Euston site in the future. 

Works will occur from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday and 8am to 1pm Saturdays. 

In early 2024, HS2 will extract the ARLT TBM at Old Oak Common East Box.
