Piling works will commence soon on Baileys Square, so some noise disruption is to be expected whilst works are carried out but we aim to minimise disruption.
The noisiest part of the Baileys Square works will commence w/c 10 February 2025, where we will driving 39 piles into the ground at the top (West) end of the Baileys Square site for the refurbishment works 1 Baileys Square (former Adult Education annex).
What is piling?
Piling is the process of driving or boring pile foundations into the ground beneath a building that is under construction. These piles transfer loads from the structure to the ground, helping to support it. Pile foundations are often used where the ground is too weak to underpin the structure.
What impact will it have on the local area?
Neighbours will hear hammering sounds from the site, and may feel it reverberate through the ground, if in close proximity.
When will it happen?
Starting w/c 10 February 2025, this element of the works will take up to 2 weeks to complete.
The work will be carried out between the hours of 9am to 4pm, Monday to Friday.
What are you doing to minimise disruption to the Clay Cross community?
Inside and NEDDC are communicating with neighbouring properties and businesses so we can be considerate to their needs; as far as is practical, we will work around sensitive events, such as services at the local chapel. Inside has also installed an acoustic fence along the South border of the site, to minimise disruption to the residential properties on Broadley’s.
